a broken cup – v4

a gash from the accident
pain in the fissure
the crack down the side
shards remaining

a broken cup useful
sharing something of beauty
how God can still use each of us
cracks, chips, and all

our broken cups beautiful
for hearts that are willing
the Spirit calling to us
to serve the Lord

the crack may remain
but God gives us purpose
work to do truly
chips, cracks, and all

a broken cup
edited April 7, 2014
the cup was broken before worship yesterday, the juice was spilled, the cloth was thrown away but was gathered from the trash this morning. They and the crown of thorns together speak of how God can make something beautiful from the brokenness through the sacrifice of Christ.

I was sitting doing my bible study when I just felt compelling to go to the church and photograph the crown of thorns with the broken cup and cloth filled with spilled grape juice from before worship yesterday. So blessed that God is able to make something so beautiful from our brokenness, through the sacrifice of Christ. — with Pastor Ruth Foss at Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church.
