vessel

"but even if I am being poured out like a drink offering...
I am glad and rejoice." - Phil.
-----
i had no idea how wonderfully, beautifully, difficult
it would be
to be a vessel;
to be poured out like wine;
to be an empty, fragile jar of clay.
it is obviously not me -
for i am selfish and desire to be
full,
strong,
confident in myself...
when all He asked was for me to be willing
and humble,
to be poured out:

to be His vessel.
