Vessels of Love

Romans 12:3-8
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

O Great God,
I’m deeply grateful for all that You have given me. You’ve uniquely shaped me into a pleasantly perfect pot to pour out Your amazing love.

Glazed by Your glorious grace, I don’t want to think of myself higher than I ought. It’s only because You skillfully sculpted my mind with sacred Scriptures that I’m useful for service. Apart from You, I’m nothing but a hard-pressed, mindless object.

It’s an honor and privilege to be part of Your extravagant collection of fine art. I can’t begin to imagine the variety of vessels You’ve created:

Some are brushed with brilliant boldness to articulate Your Word, while others are simply stroked to serve.

Some are tinted to teach while others are embossed with encouragement.

Some are colored generously to contribute to the needs of others, while others are diligently decorated to lead.

Some are filled with more faith, while others are made with more mercy.

Each vibrant vessel in Your gallery is glazed to reflect the light of Your love. Each one is exceptional, expensive and serves an extraordinary purpose. Together we make an exquisite collection.

Dear Lord, with heartfelt devotion, I dedicate my distinctive design to You for service in Your kingdom. You made me and You are my rightful Owner. Wherever You need me to go I will go. Whatever You need me to do I will do. Please dear Lord, make me a blessing today for the praise of Your name. Amen.

God has made me colorful and bold to articulate His Word. I will use my distinctive design to serve Him by writing the Prayer Pal daily for the glory of His name.
