Vessel

“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor” (2 Tim. 2:20, NKJV).

We are all vessels. We will all dispense something from within, pouring out our inner contents into the lives of those around us. Whether we become vessels of honor, or of dishonor, depends on the direction of our hearts. A heart after God, in His masterful hands, will become a vessel through which He can pour His glory. The Father wants to channel His love through our spirits, into the hurting individuals He has strategically placed in our lives.

Take this a step further. The Holy Spirit did so with me a few years ago. In His beautiful, still, small voice, He spoke to me. He whispered, “I want you to be a vessel of My love towards yourself. I have trained you to yield to Me as I pour My love through you, to others. Now I want you to learn to let Me pour My love through you, to you.”

What we sometimes don’t realize is that God is actually asking us to partner with Him in His initiative to love on us personally. We are not just passive recipients of His love. He is calling on us to actively cooperate with His desire to lavish us with His love. Oftentimes we do the opposite, partnering instead with the enemy and heaping insults, criticism, and abuse on our own souls. Sometimes we do not even realize how much we are hurting His heart by doing so.

You are the one He loves the most. You are the apple of His eye, the treasure of His heart, the longing of His soul. Make a decision today to yield to His initiative to love on you tenderly. Offer yourself as His vessel of honor, His vessel for loving on you, His precious child. Imitate His gentle touch in handling yourself. Emulate His affectionate voice in speaking to yourself. Love the one He loves, just like He does!

Why is it easier to show His kindness to other people, than to ourselves?

  1. Wow, wow, wow…

    About one hour ago..as I sat in my jeep, ready to back out of driveway and begin the day.. I took a moment to pray…before commencing…I said to the person next to me…

    What I’m hearing, what I’m feeling is

    “Get rid of all that is wrong in your life…

    If you want to be the very best in the house, ”

    Which lead me to pull out my living word and turn to 2 Timothy 3 or 4: 20

    And I just have to say again.

    GLORY TO YOUR NAME FOREVER!

    FOR you don’t leave us wondering if we are in your grace, if IT IS YOU SPEAKING,

    We praise you for keeping me and my fellow sister in Christ alinged in you.

    I cannot get over, every single time YOU CONFIRM that you are in my life,

    By coming to read her GOOD WORK, which is YOUR WORK THROUGH HER.

    she is thousands of miles away, we have never met in person, not by phone, yet we consistently RECIEVE THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE ON THE SAME DAY,

    Because there is only ONE SPEAKING whom we want to hear!

    This is the version I read this morning

    20 In a wealthy home there are dishes made of gold and silver as well as some made from wood and clay. The expensive dishes are used for guests, and the cheap ones are used in the kitchen or to put garbage in. 21 If you stay away from sin you will be like one of these dishes made of purest gold—the very best in the house—so that Christ himself can use you for his highest purposes.

      1. It is, this has happened for me at least…so frequently when coming to your site….and with others, it makes me wonder if this is more than confirmation that we are aligned.

        Is God trying to lead us into , partnering with, working with, these brothers and sisters who he has consistently confirmed that we are aligned in him?

        It’s possible. But how do we respond? By calling it a confirmation and not seeking more…maybe it is a calling to work with, and being him more glory

        I am not trying to persuade, I am okay either way, but..we obviously want to do what God wants to maximize our full potential in him.
        God bless you sister.

    THANK YOU!
    THANK YOU!
    THANK YOU!

    Confirmation
    Conviction

    Revelation
    Understanding

    Enabling
    A divine increase

    Which leads to a TRANSFORMATION

    it is by HIS HOLY FIREPOWER 🔥🔥🔥

    THAT ARE EQUIPPED, ENABLED, TO DO HIS WILL

    Acts 18

    9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t quit! 10 For I am with you and no one can harm you. Many people here in this city belong to me.” 11 So Paul stayed there the next year and a half, teaching the truths of God.

    Acts 19
    11 And God gave Paul the power to do unusual miracles, 12 so that even when his handkerchiefs or parts of his clothing were placed upon sick people, they were healed, and any demons within them came out.

    I pray by the spirit of the LIVING HOLY GOD, that there be an increase added to you, this day, in Christ Jesus name, amen.

    An increase which adds THE PRESENCE OF THE LIVING GOD, TO EVERY ENVIRONMENT YOU WALK IN.

    GLORY!
