TREASURE CARRIERS!

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 For God who said “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. 

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.

I expect we all have days when we feel ordinary or average, but God thinks differently. He says you are His masterpiece, made in the likeness of God. If you’ve asked Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour you have the Holy Spirit of God living on the inside of you so that makes you extraordinary! You are a Light Carrier!

God say He puts His treasure in fragile clay jars, or another translation calls us earthen vessels. Good news, you and I are earthen vessels so we have His treasure inside us waiting to come out at the appointed time. You are also a Treasure Carrier!

I was speaking to a friend and she said she didn’t know she had it in her to help people with legal matters and paperwork, never considered that as her gifting but God has shown her recently He put it in her for such a time as this.😊

Inside you at this moment are treasures God put in you from before you were born, for His glory, for the benefit of others as well as yourself. So we can remember, even on days we think we’re ordinary, that we are actually earthen vessels God has placed the shining light of Jesus in. 

He will show us hidden gifts and talents at the right time. In fact, we will probably be discovering new treasures we didn’t know we had all through our lives so we can look forward with anticipation and see what God has planned even in our nineties! Clint Eastwood, who is 93, is now working on directing his next legal drama film, not limited by age!

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

You and I have great God given potential in us. You are not average, mediocre or ordinary, too old or too young. Be encouraged, you are who God says you are…..

You are His masterpiece - a Light Carrier - a Treasure Carrier!😊  

Have a blessed weekend everybody.x
