But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not us. 2 Corinthians 4:7
Attempting to carry something of value in a broken container is counterintuitive. Yet it’s amazing that God chooses to use broken people like myself to carry the essence of Himself.

It is amazing isn't it? That the Lord would chose to use us – broken as we are – for His glory! Thank you, Lord.

Loved this picture –
And yes, God works in counterintuitive ways. His Wisdom seems foolish to the world. That's at least ONE of the reasons I love Him so…
Those broken containers?
They're still broken, but Jesus sealed them with His Blood and they are filled to abundance with the Holy Spirit!
GOD BLESS!
Karen says
Amen! I really loved this, Wanda…
