Day 187 - The Heart of a Broken Vessel

- 365 Days of Happiness and Truth - Day 187:

The Heart of a Broken Vessel 

Happiness: Pressing for possibility. 

Truth: To you and I a broken vessel would certainly be a nuisance; always allowing what’s inside to escape and “contaminate” its surroundings. You would constantly have to keep filling it as a result……but is that really so bad? You see we are God’s vessels and He actually desires that which He has poured into us to flow out and “affect” our environment and only when it flows out can He continue to fill us over and over again. The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church wrote; "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Cor. 4:5-7)
