2 Corinthians 4: 7 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.
Isn't it lovely to know we have the light of God shining in our hearts and amazing to think we're God's light in the darkness. Jesus is The Light and part of the light that is shining in us is His truth, showing God's goodness and mercy to others around us.
God says what we have is a great treasure and on the days when we feel like we're struggling maybe we've forgotten we have that treasure or haven't even acknowledged it perhaps? The Apostle Paul calls it 'our great power' which is from God. Our great treasure is His Light our great power God gives us. Maybe we need to ask God to open that up to us and help us understand it more and more so we can really believe it and use it.
Yesterday we looked at not discounting ourselves so may I remind us again today that down inside our spirit is Jesus Himself, so His light, His great power and authority are living in us too and God wants us to use it for His glory because it comes from Him.
Even though we know we're just clay jars we can shine for Him today.😊
Have a lovely weekend.
