Cracked Pot

[Guest guest]

to d eliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak

out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do

all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot

said.The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion

he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful

flowers along the path."Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot

took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the

path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad

because it had leaked out half its load, and so again the pot apologized to the

bearer for its failure.The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there

were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side?

That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage o f

it. I planted flower seeds

on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream,

you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful

flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are,

he would not have this beauty to grace his house." Each of us has our own

unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But if we will allow it, God will use our

flaws to grace his table. In God's great economy, nothing goes to waste. Don't

be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them, and you too can be the cause of

beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength. Yours George Pillai
