Messes...to Masterpieces
I am a mess maker. In spite of (jokingly) insisting that I merely have a messy husband, the truth is I make just as many (if not more) messes than he does, and probably bigger ones.
Ugh...my life also seems to get messy a lot: Broken relationships, friends facing life-changing losses, stress at work, too many committments, missed appointments, unexpected difficulties, feelings of failure and inadequacy. Yup...lots of messes.
Most of them are probably of my making, my trying to do everything well and to not disappoint anyone...only to end up doing nothing well and disappointing myself (and probably others). I think I can...I think I can...somewhere in there I'm missing the most important part: I know God can.
Maybe that's my problem...too much of my trying, and not enough of letting God take the wheel. I know He can use me to accomplish much more than I ever will on my own, if I let go, and let him.
The good news is, even when I mess up, God has clean-up duty, and he's amazing!
He takes my messes...and turns them into unbelievable masterpieces.
This song touched my heart...I hope it does yours too.
