The fascinating truth this verse uncovers is that despite imperfections and flaws, God decided to fill each of us with His treasure—His glory—in order to reveal His power. Yes, perhaps you’ve messed up big time. But as a repentant vessel, your mistakes don’t spell the end for you. Quite the opposite, actually. In an unfathomable way, God will use what you consider to be your greatest weaknesses in order to demonstrate His greatest glory. There’s no greater purpose than that!
Don’t let the voice of “look what you’ve done,” “you’re too this” or “you’re not enough of that” disqualify you. Know that your wounds, your past and your weaknesses—when surrendered to God—are actually what God uses powerfully in His service. So keep this Satan-silencing truth consistently running through your mind and your mouth: “God will use me!”
