Cheering You On

I’ve always been a performer, but not a cheerleader. I was a short little nerdy girl in high school so I gravitated to the stage…not the cheer squad. .

I guess I’m a cheerleader at heart, however.  

Years ago, when I created my one-woman show, “Confessions of a Type A Lady,” I incorporated a cheer.  

I call it The Cracked Pot’s Cheer (cause I’m a cracked pot). 

You may be familiar with it.  

God wrote the Cracked Pot’s Cheer.

With all-encompassing understanding, God provided The Cracked Pot’s Cheer to let us know…

NOTHING…no NOTHING will keep us from experiencing the depth

…the warmth…the joy of God’s LOVE.  

So, saddle up folks…you need to hear this…and…wait a minute…I have an idea!

Truth be told… I think YOU might have a bit of a cheerleader hidden deep within you.  

So… why not cheer with me?  

Ready?

Hands on hips!

Set!

GO!

📣The Cracked Pot’s Cheer📣

But we have this treasure in jars of clay 

to show this strength is from God…not from us. 

We’re hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; 

perplexed, but not in despair; 

persecuted, but not abandoned; 

struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9

I don’t know about you…but after I shout out this cheer, I can’t help but hear God’s encouraging whisper:

GOOOOOOOOO TEAM!

Bottom line is this:  

Bad stuff happens to us on this imperfect earth.

BUT

We’re not defeated.  

SO

Pull out your poms and cheer on!

God in all His glory is cheering you on, too! 

Here are more Bible cheers to memorize:
