5 If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
This one is scary to me.
If we allow ourselves to be "thrown into the fire", or allow ourselves to be used in a manner that isn't what God intended.....it makes it much more difficult for him to use us? Is that what its saying? I don't like that at all. I mess it up everyday!
I was always under the impression that no matter your past or your circumstance, God can use it for his glory. And no matter how charred you are, he can still use us.
Maybe what this is saying is that our "charring" limits the scope of when/where he can use us.

well I would have felt like you did before, but now you have convinced me that charring myself might limit how he can use me. thanks. ;)
