Even with the Blood of Christ, there are winners and there are losers. The clay cannot tell the potter what it will become. Fine China used to serve delicious foods and is valuable in that it displays food for those foodie pics everyone loves to post on the internet or A valuable toilet seat that is merely functional... (thankless even) It is still incredibly useful... albeit not as glamorous.
Both are of equal value in God's eyes.. just one is likely to be preferred.
I find myself to be the toilet seat more than that pretty china that is used to feed the masses. I'd in fact be used more often just on the other end of the spectrum.
I've heard this: Sometimes in life you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug.
It's okay if no one understands me *shrug*

the truth is, the answer changes day by day.
i can't ever feel like a loser. i just don't, because i am unable to divorce myself from the knowledge that my life is richly blessed far beyond what i deserve.
in. so. many. ways.
that doesn't mean i don't have awareness of my bad days and times when life seems really unfair. i have things in my life that i'm not thrilled about.
but um, i can't seriously call myself a loser, not even on my worse day.
not knowing where i came from, and what God has done in my life. especially when it doesn't seem all THAT long ago that i was completely at the end of myself.
everything that has happened from that point forward has been a gift.
and the joy i feel in my heart isn't a temporary or fleeting condition.
maybe it's ok to be a "toilet seat" if you're incredibly joyful, in spite of yourself?

I fail God every day. I'm a loser for sure because I fail or lose far more than I win or succeed for God. I'm back to thinking I'm likely not saved at all.
Either I'm going to be surrounded by my stored up treasures that I'll be noteworthy to hang out with in Heaven...
or not. Somedays it feels more like not.

No... there really aren't.
If you are saved by the blood of Christ, and you are walking around feeling like a loser, then you seriously need to get into the scripture and reevaluate your life, and your worth, by God's standards.
You need to stop using man's standards, and stop using your own standards, and start using God's standards.
If you think you're a loser:
A. You are using the world's standard's to measure yourself, instead of God's standards
B. You have absolutely no concept of your true value
