Everyone is like a pot that carries life. But not everyone carries a presence that blesses others. Religion tries to force people to follow laws to make them perfect, like pots without cracks. But if a light is put within a flawless pot and then covered, no one can see the light inside the pot. Perfect pots are not able to reveal internal light to illumine the way for others.
God chooses to shine through imperfect, cracked pots. People are blessed when their cracked pot let the light of God shine through into other cracked pots.
Hi I-did-it,
Thank you for your kind thought and post on my thread. I read your questions and only have this to say that I have learn to accept and live with this imperfection in my life. Not every day, every week, every month was good but I try to remain positive and hopeful. It help me to move on with life and not get stuck living in a time from the past.
Those people in AA and GA says that we are like cucumber that has turn into pickle or we are allergy to alcohol and gambling. Before I have true acceptance of my addiction, I approach this problem like I would with any problem in running a business, office or company. It has proven to be a useless and fruitless for me to fight a devil more powerful than me.
It was only after I find the bible, the 12 steps recovery program and a higher power in Jesus Christ that I find a direction and a power greater than anything else I know that can help me do what I cannot do for myself.
You are in my prayer today.
