Women being vessels for God to use.

A Vessel of Honor By Jacqueline Goodwin Do you see yourself as a container, a receptacle, or a holder? If you said yes to one than you are saying yes to all three because all three are one in the same. A container, a receptacle, and a holder all holds past mistakes and negative critics of others. Well God has called you a vessel. There may have been periods or stages of your life where you have felt empty but these are the seasons that God is preparing you as a vessel to carry His knowledge forth to those who are lost, broken, and spiritually blind and abused. Yes, the process was painful but before the craftsman displays his masterpiece there are stages the clay must go through. The clay must be centered on the wheel before the craftsman can began his process. This is an essential step because if his clay is not centered when he starts to pull up the piece, it will be off balance, and he will fight the clay during the whole process. Just like the clay must be centered before the craftsman can start the process of creating a masterpiece women of God you must be centered in the will of God so that He may began the process of making you an honorable vessel to be used daily to bring other women over the obstacles of life and through the storms of life. 2 Timothy 2:20-22 states, 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work Next, the clay must be thrown down close to the center of the wheel so that it will stick well. As vessels we must stay close to God that no matter what trials, tribulations, and tests we are confronted with that we will never walk away from the presence of God. God said He will never leave you nor forsake you if you just stick to the will of God so that you will mature into a usable vessel: beautiful, valued, and prized. Next, the craftsman starts the wheel spinning at a moderate or fast speed to force the clay in to the center. Sometimes God allows trials to come into our lives to force us into the center of His will. Just as the craftsman press down forcing the clay downward the pressing of the trials forces us to become vessels of prayers. As God pluck things out of the vessels you will decrease and He will increase only to build you into an honorable vessel. There will be days that you may feel broken down but He is only repairing the cracks that life has placed upon you. He takes the chips that have fallen from His vessel only to replenish them. Jeremiah 31:28:28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD Yes women of god you have been swept through the fire a vessel left to be burn into ashes but God took your ashes and gave you beauty for ashes. A beautiful vessel fit for your Father’s use. He will not use man-made super glue to seal the cracks but as He wraps His loving arms around His chosen vessel sealed with His mercy and grace you shall rise to the call of being an honorable vessel ready for the master use. No more sitting on the shelves of life waiting to be seen that broken vessel is what Jesus is looking for you empty and naked waiting to be filled and clothed in His righteousness.
