SCRIPTURE
But 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. 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 (2 Timothy 2:20-21).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
As believers, we carry the responsibility to become refined vessels that are found worthy to represent the Kingdom of God. Many people want to be used by God, but fewer want to put in the effort to allow God to refine them for that purpose. We cannot serve and work for the Lord on our own terms. Where necessary, we need to let Him adjust things like our methods, character, manners, and more. Many people have powerful ministry gifts, but if they lack the etiquette to treat people correctly, their gift becomes stunted. It can’t reach its fullest potential until other areas that complement that gift are improved. As you allow God to use you in whatever facet He desires, also allow Him to make adjustments so you can be everything He wants you to become!
