“We have this treasure in jars of clay…” (II Cor. 4:7)
A cup is a container that must sometimes be emptied out to make room for the new. Like a cup, our spiritual journey is a process of emptying and filling, of giving and receiving, of accepting and letting go. The contents of our lives are meant to be given and shared in a generous gesture of compassion, just as the purpose of a cup is to be poured out. Sometimes our lives reveal chips, stains, and flaws like any well-traveled cup – yet God is able to use us.
I pray to be the cup that would be willing to be used of the Lord! May my contents also be is use not only to me but to those in all my sphere of influence!
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love (2 Peter 1:5-7)
The retreat last 11 Sept 2016 was just awesome in the presence of the Lord -- introspection and reflection time as well as think of the great opportunities the Lord has given us to grow as a Leadership Egroup!
God bless us all!
