Earthen Vessels

We have the treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves.
2 Corinthians 4:7

You posses a tremendous treasure--an amazing reality that causes angels to stare at you in bewilderment. It is a treasure given to you in Christ.
What is this treasure? It is the power of God that lives inside you through the person of Jesus Christ. The Word who spoke the universe into existence dwells in you, a human being! Might Deity and meager humanity have become one because Jesus has joined us in Union with His Father
Why would God place such infinite power within our frail human bodies? So that when He works through us, it will be obvious that this miraculous life we live doesn't originate from us, but from Him. The greatness of Almighty God is seen as He lives through one of His fragile but dearly loved people.
Don't expect anything from yourself. You're just container made of mud. However, expect much from God because He takes great pleasure in the fact that His life and yours are one. He delight in expressing Himself through you.
