Neither rotten nor good

I bought a box of green avocadoes a while ago and was very disappointed when they all had black spots before they were fully ripe and useful.  On cutting them open, most were still edible.  However with the green flesh dotted with small black marks, it looked very unappetising- certainly not presentable to guests! Serving it would certainly bring no honour to me! 

I looked at the rest of the box: what would I do with them?  Throw them all in the green waste bin or try to salvage them by cutting out the black spots?  What a chore!  Would it be worthwhile or would the avo’s turn black and unusable immediately, forcing me to throw them out anyway and without receiving any “fruit” from them?

It made me think…am I a “usable avo with clear spotless flesh” or am I dotted with black spots?  Am I useful?  Can’t be if I’m dotted with black spots! 

God, please do not give up on me!  Don’t throw me out – please cut out the rotten pieces. I cannot do it on my own: I need your grace!   I want to glorify you!
