Grapes

I know I'm not the only one that faces days like I'm gonna describe so maybe this will encourage you as it did me. You wake up one day and face the normal rigors of life and somehow along the course of that day things happen and words are stated that make you look at yourself a little more than you wish to. And you end up feeling like you really have nothing or very little to offer others. So the cycle of questioning your position in this world takes place in your mind. You wonder if you are where you're suppose to be. You wonder if you're doing what you are suppose to be doing with your life and you wonder if you're really as much an asset as you thought you were to your family. Life just has a way of handing us a bowl of sour grapes some days...and why do we even sit there and eat them like nothing is wrong with the taste?

I vote we stop doing that and concentrate on the greatness of our God and His Son, Jesus Christ. If the Lord can cause words to come from a donkey, He can certainly transform us into vessels of worth to others. The words to this song are so compelling and true...

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though

‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
