When you cleanse yourself, God will fill you. That’s the best way to give the light of Jesus to the world.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And in my living room there sits a little clay antique lamp—it’s an oil lamp a friend brought back from Israel. When it’s filled with oil, it still glows; it still brings light. And it’s a reminder to me that if I want to be a useful vessel in the hands of my master, then I need to be filled. I want to be a willing little jar of clay that longs to be filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit so that I might shine the light of Jesus and glow with God's glory. So how do we become a useful vessel like that? 2 Timothy 2:21 says, “…if a man cleanses himself… he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the master and prepared to do any good work.” Today, take a look inside the little clay jar that you are – see any cobwebs of sin? Then cleanse yourself and then God will fill you. That’sthe way to give the light of Jesus to the world.
