2 Corinthians 4:7-8
New International Version (NIV)
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
I have a growing collection of ceramic pottery. I am intrigued by hand-thrown pots, jars, containers. I use them around the house for holding all sorts of things.
All of these jars of clay were throw aways. I found them, orphaned, at thrift stores, yard sales, mom’s basement. They were deemed by previous owners not worth keeping.
They remind me that God doesn’t see any “vessel” as a throw away. Any jar of clay that He created contains a treasure.
I’m undone by the thought that He sees a treasure in me.
The following pictures are just some of my treasure jars:
