A Vessel

It is important to know our place in the Kingdom of God. I never want to take on a "do you know who I am" mentality, especially with it comes to the faith.

I am merely a vessel to by used at God's discretion. I'm no great thing, but I am God's thing.

Jesus use me, Lord please don't refuse me,
Surely there's a work that I can do.
Even though it's humble, help my will to crumble,
Though the price be great, I'll work for you.

You see, we're all vessels in God's Kingdom and those vessels are all different and God can choose to use us however He sees fit. (2 Tim 2:20-21). However, if we are to be honorable vessels, we need to be counted among those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Tim 2:22).

I don't know about you, but I want to be used and I want to be pure. Psalms 51:10 says "Create in me a clean heart" and that's what I want. I know the alternative, which is to be cast out of the presence of God (Psalms 51:11).

We don't sing this song as far as I know, but it is a good song that reflects submission to God.

Change my heart oh God, Make it ever true,
Change my heart oh God, May I be like You.
You are the Potter, I am the clay,
Mold me and make me, This is what I pray.

Regardless of anyone or anything else, Lord let me be useful to You.
