Both Isaiah and
Jeremiah (18:6) used the illustration
of God as the Potter and man as the clay.
Dear friend, if you have made a
mess of your life, God can take the mess and restore it to that which is useful
and beautiful. There is a beautiful
illustration of what God can do with a life that is blotted with sin given by
D. L. Moody.
“A friend once showed a cleaner a
costly handkerchief on which a blot of ink had been made. ‘Nothing can be done with it now,’ said the
cleaner, ‘it is absolutely worthless.’
The owner of the handkerchief made no reply but carried it away with
him. After a time he sent it back, to
the great surprise of the cleaner who could scarcely believe his eyes! In a most skillful and artistic way, the
owner of the handkerchief had made a design in India ink using the ugly blot as
the center for his design.”
The principle is clear: a blotted life is not a useless life. God can take that blotted life and make it beautiful and useful for His service, if one would only yield to Him.
What to do:
✞ If your life is blotted with sin, why not yield your life to God today? (You can contact us at
