Jacob. The receiver of a “secondhand” birthright and now the thief of a blessing. This is the man who inherits God’s covenant and goes on to father the twelve nations of Israel. A man willing to deceive his own father. I can’t believe God would use him.

Oh, but how quickly those words turned sour in my mouth. How
many mistakes have I made? How many times have I chosen the wrong path? And yet
he calls me by none of those things.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in
weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
so
that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
2 Corinthians 12:9
That is a big love. We are flawed and God loves us anyway, uses
us anyway.
Thank You God, for using me because YOU ARE. Not because of
the things I am or the things I am not, but simply because You are. Perfect, in
every single place that I am not. Strong where I am weak. What an incredible
blessing.
