fragile clay jars containing this great treasure

We now have this light shining in our hearts, 
but we ourselves 
are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. 
This makes it clear that 
our great power 
is from God, 
not from ourselves.
–2 Corinthians 4:7

Dear Reader, whatever you are going through, know you have "great power" from God. Don't focus on your weaknesses and limitations. Focus on God and how He will equip you. He knew your weak places BEFORE He created you. He made you anyway. He knows you will fail in some areas and make huge messes in others. He loves you anyway. Resolve to do the best you can for His glory and REST in HIS POWER to see you through. Rest knowing He works all things for good to those who love Him. Pass on that love and acceptance He gives you to everyone you can.
