The whole vessel had carried more, but the cracked had given more.\n\nAsk yourself: What crack are you praying away that the path is being watered through?\n\nGOD — wait. My grace is sufficient; my strength is made perfect in weakness. The crack is not the failure; it is the giving.\n\n(A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)", "source": {"label": "Narrow Highway — original parable", "url": "", "ref": "scripture_2_cor_12_9", "authority_tier": "operator"}, "shelf": "codex", "box": "parables", "bands": ["parable", "original", "witness", "teaching", "physical_substance", "metabolism", "authority_trust", "GOD"], "connections": [], "author": "operator", "created_at": "2026-07-10T21:00:05.284658+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-10T21:00:05.284658+00:00", "visibility": "public", "lifecycle_stage": "public", "volatility": "permanent", "surface": "witness", "metrics": {"paperclips_count": 0, "helpful_count": 0, "not_helpful_count": 0, "cite_count": 0, "walks_through_count": 0, "flagged_count": 0}, "source_hash": "00fd0931b80ce295ae87a9041677662cdd8d45369319d2b18230d3f711536650"}
