Default A Worthless Vessel

Lately I've been praying that God could use me as his servant. I always thought it impossible because I have made too many mistakes in my life and sinned too many times. Then he showed me how it is possible.

My Lord found me, discarded, laying in the mud, covered in filth. My Lord Jesus, lifted me up and examined me, he said, "You appear to be a worthless vessel, but I can see past the dirt and at the heart is good metal, I can use you". So he took me and washed me clean. Then he pulled out a hammer and began to strike me ferociously, painful blow after painful blow, till every dent was gone and I regained the original shape, my creator had given me. I thought he was done, but then he began to buffet me with rough paper and then finally polish, till I shone like brand new. Then he said, "Now I can use you, but I don't expect you to stay clean, only an unused vessel stays clean. When you become stained, I'll be there to clean you, so I can use you again and again".
