"And what could this bowl, broken, unable to fill its needs, do to earn my reaching out to put it back together? Not a thing. The only aspect about it that has earned its healing is that it's broken."
God is in the business of restoration. Of healing completely - not partially or only when we feel ready and strong and able to follow - but completely, even when our eyes are downcast and we are beyond hoping for anything more than what has always been.
He sees us in our flaws and our weakness and he restores us. And this restoration is the evidence of His glory.
