“DESPITE OUR MESS-UPS, GOD WILL PICK US UP”
He shall not strive, nor cry, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and a smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. (Matthew 12:19-21)
Men and Women of God: The gospel singer Donnie McClurkin sang this song “We fall down but we get back up” it is a call to reason, a reckoning between man’s failure and God’s favor, between the ideology of not being perfect and the theology of being perfected! Let us remember that God knows our uprising and our downsizing, our thoughts before we even speak them and he knows that ultimately our flesh is but filthy rags before him. In despite all of that, God does not cover up our faulty, flawed fleshly mess-ups, he picks us up, cleans us up and than builds us up. The above scriptures reveals the resume of Jesus Christ concerning his calling and work for the salvation of man and the service of man! This is the Son of God, the Chosen servant, the anointed One; chosen to restore Israel and redeem the Gentiles. He is able to look beyond our faults and see our needs! Yes: we will mess-up, leaving bruises from our falls, flaws and failures, yes: we will be over zealous in our words, our worship and our works but God will neither break us so that we quit, or quench us that our fire to serve Him goes out. The truth is; God does not require a prerequisite that enlist only educated vessels or tall vessels, or short vessels, God is seeking only yielding vessels. Listen, not everyday is going to be a perfect day, but God is perfect everyday! The sun may not shine everyday, or the birds may not sing everyday, but God shows us his Love and his mercy to us everyday.
“Despite Our Mess-Ups, God Will Pick Us UP”
Much love ~Apostle D.
