Mom Heart Moments #291

We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

JESUS IS IN THE WORLD TODAY, at this moment.

He is present and alive, His Spirit blowing through the moments of our days. He is seeking someone to heal, someone to save, someone to whom He can extend redeeming love —and it will all happen through mere humans, those whose feet are made of clay. He is alive, and He lives through us.

All of us, with different skills, shapes, personalities, liabilities, and stories, are here for a short few years to faithfully live out a miracle. His presence invades the things of the earth. His love permeates the places of the lonely, His joy fills the air —but how? Through us. He is in us and wants to bring the miracle of Himself to this world, through limited, earthly jars of clay.

How will we honor this vast miracle of His life in us?

Today, who needs us to give something He wants to provide?

What do we have in us today that His Spirit would give to those present in our lives?

Someone needs His words of encouragement and hope —who is the person He would love through us?

Someone needs a cup of cold water, a sandwich, a cup of tea, an eye-to-eye encounter that says, “You are of great value —you are not condemned. I love you. He loves you.” Who will that be?

Being wrapped up in ourselves, being consumed with our own needs, inhibits His ability to work through us.

Will your children, your husband, your friends, see the reality of Jesus today, because you allowed Him to be alive through you in all the moments of your day?
