“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NIV)
I have always loved the analogy of being a piece of clay that has been molded by the potter’s hand (God). He molds us and shapes us into the image that He deems best, which means we are made in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Even though we are made differently, we are all used for His purposes. Filled with the Spirit of God, we can be poured into the lives of others to do His will.
For this to be successful, we must be completely empty to our selfish desires. A song that portrays this beautifully is “Empty Me” by Chris Sligh. The chorus could be used as a simple prayer to God showing our desire to be emptied out for Him.
Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition
And the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me
So I can be
Filled with you
“Dear God, Help us to be completely emptied, so we can be vessels used for Your purpose. Fill us with Your spirit and will only.”
For His Glory
