Cracked pots don't get thrown out, not if the Fixer's inside. A short, honest word from 2 Corinthians 4: Paul calls himself a jar of clay, cheap, breakable, and so are we.
But cracked isn't the same as crushed.
If your life's got failure, angst, or things falling apart in it right now, this isn't the end of you, it's a question of mebbe reviewing what's there to hold you together at the centre.
For Paul it was death-defying Jesus.
