THE BROKEN POT


Last day was a day of consolation for me because I was disturbed with some kinds of feelings that reminded me spenting of time in internet and being with others most of the day would cause me to lose the touch with God and thus result in spiritual weakness.I went away from my own kingdom of contemplation and lonliness which all ways makes me a strong hearted man.I said to Jesus that I am losing the touch with him.The time I spend in prayer got reduced since I have to spent time for my lots of friends and their lives issues .At last I sat with Jesus in prayer and he reminded me one story.The story of the broken pot.
The story goes like this,once there was a poor farmer lived in his small hut.All the day he worked in the near by farm land and every evening he carried water from the near by stream for his personal use.He used two pots which he tied on the two ends of a stick and kept on his shoulder while he walk.In two of those pots one had a hole .By seeing this the good pot told to the broken one that you are a useless pot and our master is working hard to bring water to home but you are simply wasting his time and energy by losing water through the hole.The broken pot became so sad when it heard the accusations of good pot and he thought that '' Yes I am useless ,what the good one said is right, so I will tell to master to use another good pot to use instead of me.Then the next day master came to carry the pot to fetch the water ,the broken one said to the master to leave him the from the job.He said to master that he was a useless and not reaching up to his expectations when he failed to carry the amount of water as the good one carried.But in contrast to his grievence the master said to him that ,he knew that he is a broken pot and water is flowing out thorugh the hole.Again he asked the broken pot to look the sides of the road ,ther he saw beautiful flowers were blossomed and the road sides seemed like a garden.The master again said to the broken pot that even though you are a broken pot you are not a waste pot and because of you now I can enjoy my time in the home and the road.The water which flowed from you gave birth to this kind of heavenly flowers.Now every one who passed through the road praising me for these flowers and because of your weaknesses I am glorified.So dont be worried about your failers and weaknesses and I know everything rather you concentrate on your work and understand that your as worthy as others .
Jesus my master I know I am like the broken pot .I too worried about my failers and weaknesses but Lord you have told me that you understand me and I can see your strength in my weeknesses.Even though I am a broken pot,you all ways inspires me to stick on my jobs and mission.Jesus told me that being with people and others is the christ life .Spenting time for others is heavenly duty, so pray after your duty.Thankyou Lord for everything.Thank you my JESUS, .Bless me lord and be with me .Lord teach me to serave others in all possible ways so that I can understand you more. Jesus bless me and be with me .u r jeril .amen
