What does one wish for?


2 Timothy 2:21 New King James Version (NKJV)

 

21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, 

he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master,

prepared for every good work.

 

Don’t you want to live like this ... real life in the Spirit?

Warfare, suffering and the like and that is just a start

Burdened by weariness, heartbreak, trials and conflict

Being poured out completely ... until death do you part

 

Only an empty vessel has lots of room to be filled

To know that it is empty someone just knocks on it

It is easy to haul around and to place it where it’s needed

And there to let Christ fill it up so all may drink from it
