EARTHEN VESSELS (CRACKED POTS)
2 Corinthians 4:7-10
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
Encouraging Words
God has made us fragile so that we will always be reminded that is not ourselves that make us great in this world, but God dwelling within us, working in and through us, and blessing us with His great mercy. He does this because He loves us and in His eyes we are worth every iota of His love and mercy that He chooses to pour out upon us. There is nothing that we can do to earn it. We don't have to. He gives it to us freely, even though it was very costly for Him. Knowing this is what makes it easier for this cracked pot to make it through each day. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
