Jars of Clay...

I took this photograph while visiting India last November. These clay water jars were piled against the wall behind one of the school buildings. I thought they were simple but beautiful, and was reminded of this verse when I snapped the photo. 






















It is shocking to me that they still use such simple, dirty, clay vessels to carry life-giving water to people. I can think up a long list of better ways to get water from one place to another! What a great reminder that we are not worthy to carry the light of Christ... we are imperfect vessels and God could have chosen a better way! But in his infinite mercy, grace, and love HE CHOSE US to carry His life-giving message around the world. Every day the King of Kings chooses to use us to show his love to a broken world. What an honor.
