About the Poem
I can't take credit for this poem, for I am not a poet. It was, rather, given to me by God as a Word of encouragement to His people that, through the broken places in our lives that often cause us to feel that we are of no use, His Love can flow out to reach others.
Broken Vessels |
| by One For Him |
| Broken vessels, fit for service Once, when whole, what could they do? Only hold within themselves That which they poured out by choice But, once broken, looking useless What can that vessel hold within? Nothing - for what pours inside Flows out, as it is meant to do Through the cracked and broken places In our lives, His Love flows out Reaching those we would not pour to What we cannot hold within Needing daily His refilling First for us, and then to them Yielded vessels, now made worthy By forgiveness of our sins Thank you, God, for broken places Of great value in Your hands Whole myself, I might not serve You Broken, You may have control Pouring in as You desire Sometimes more and sometimes less Always that to reach to others Through my yielded brokenness |

Encouraging poem sent down from above... With meanings much more than just the words. God molds us each day, and gives us that little edge. God Bless

God gave me a vision of this poem over two years ago, which I later made an illustration of. This message was spoken as a word from the Lord at my church about two weeks later. And now I see once again how good God is as He confirms His message through this beautiful poem.
