Spit & Clay

“You have nothing in and of yourself.  You and I are made of clay and spit.  Any holiness of ours is polluted beyond our petty comprehension.  I have nothing to offer Him but a bent neck, a neck He helped me bend.  I have nothing to offer Him but filth, and He has taken it.  He exchanged it for blood like wine, and His own body broken like bread.”

-N.D. Wilson, Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 2009), 178.
