Here’s another phrase that you might have heard: “I’m just one beggar telling another beggar where I found some food.”

When I share a thought or a verse here on KenaniahSings, I always remember this simple phrase. I’m no spiritual giant -- in fact, many times I’m a spiritual gnat. But that’s the really cool thing about God & how He works with the Body of Christ. One of us might share a thought that sparks another insight in another of us. It’s how we help each other grow.

It's not that one of us is more spiritual than another, but rather that God in His wisdom & greatness created each of us to be unique, with unique thoughts, emotions, & insights. So even though I’m a beggar, He works THROUGH me, & often He works IN SPITE OF me.

“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God.” [I Corinthians 1:27-29]

So if you’re feeling like a cracked vessel, take heart. God can use you, & He can use others to minister to you. It’s what the Body is all about.
