Great post.

I used to say that the Spirit of the living God uses us in spite of our fallibility and weakness. But I’m becoming more and more convinced that He uses us because of, not just in spite of, our “messed-up-ness.”

We are broken, but we know the Healer.
We sin, but we are forgiven.
We fall, but Christ picks us up again and again and again and again, etc.

The reason others are drawn to the risen Christ through us is because they see that He is alive in us, not because we have arrived and have it all together.

Thanks for this post.
Rejoice in the cross and the empty tomb!
