Fix It, Then Break It

I was going to write about hipocrisy, and how it's affecting the Church, especially where I live. But it wouldn't be fair, as I would end up doing the same, and for the wrong reasons: to call out "potential hypocrites", and not for the glory of God. Plus, the title has something more to say:

So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But
the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter
formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. (Jeremiah 18:3-4)

This is the typical quebranto situation that I get oh,so enlightened, so sick to hear from in my Pentecostal Puerto Rican mindframe that I'm not clear of. God breaks you, then molds you. Then, if you're an imprudente, you get broken and molded again! It's an eternal process -or, cue ominous music- proceso that all our lives are upon it.

Though, I think I have found a loophole in its theology: if one's strong, he'll be broken to be weak, recognizing God's grace. But if one's broken already? Will God break him more than enough to the point of no return?

God will not give us more than we can handle. He knows where to break, what to break, how to break, and why to break. His grace is made complete in us. So, what He can be "breaking", or "quebrantando" in our lives, He may be cleaning us. No one likes to be broken, not one bit. But He uses ANYTHING for His glory, so we can be complete in Him in all.

Fix, break, or, break, fix. God will never get tired of that equation. True dat, He won't finish until His second coming. But, at least, we get to know what is holiness in His eyes.

Hossanna!
