Would He want a screw-up?
One that has nothing to offer.
Would He want a weakened vessel
With no strength to spare?
In my heart of hearts, I feared
He would reject me
For in my own eyes,
I saw the ultimate screw-up
But He spoke to me
"You are no screw-up.
You are not too weak.
I have made you perfectly.
Trust Me."
I think that being a screw-up is an easy way out sometimes. I know personally, when I messed up, falling back on being the ultimate screw-up, was the one thing I could hold onto. I felt I had no choice, because me being an ultimate screw-up, clearly meant I couldn't succeed, it also meant I didn't have to try to succeed.
But I'm challenging that mindset in me.
"Your hands have made me and fashioned me, an intricate unity." Job 10:8a.
"The Spirit of God made me, and the breathe of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4
Is that mindset, the mindset of being a screw-up, saying to my Maker that He did not spend adequate time on me, that He, the Sovereign One, messed up His design? He fashioned me, He breathed His breathe into me, how could He mess up? He is soveriegn, He knows all, He could not mess up!
"Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; for shall the thing made say of him who made it. "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?" Isaiah 29:16
I am not a screw up! He formed me together. He knows what He's doing, I can trust Him in this!
