A long long time ago in a land not so far away, I was using a wheelbarrow. I was piling rocks in it and hauling them away. On one of those loads I put too many rocks in it and the wheelbarrow tipped over. The wheelbarrow was made of hard plastic and when it tipped the cargo area flexed with the weight that was in it and large crack was created in the bottom of the wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow still works but it makes it hard to put water in it to wash tools or soak potted plants when water keeps leaking out of it.
We are like that wheelbarrow. We make mistakes and get cracked and broken and then figure God can't use us anymore. We may be broken but God can still use us. The Bible is full of people just like you and me who have made bad choices who have gone on to do incredible things for God. David and Moses come to mind right away. You may be broken but God can still use you...and he can use me too.
