Both Middle School & Sr. High took part in an activity that was a bit messy, a bit frustrating, and highly creative. Each youth, or a group of two or three, were given a clay pot symbolizing themselves. We then broke that perfectly shaped pot into many pieces only to put the pot back together. Interesting concept, huh? However, never did I say that putting the clay pot back together meant it had to look like it once was. Some chose to put the pot back together as close to the original form (however, there were still cracks and scars), some decided to make something new and creative, and some just got frustrated.
Objective: When we feel like we are lacking in “fruit,” and we feel “broken,” never should we be content in remaining broken. No Christian should ever seek to become broken in any way, either. How do we become unbroken? We need to remember that we don't always go back together the same way after being broken, and, actually, that is something to celebrate!
- If your life has no fruit, then God wants to clean you.
- If your life has some fruit, then God wants to prune you.
- If your life has a lot of fruit, then God wants to abide more deeply with you.
