Just a clay pot but…
Flower pots. Fancy or plain? I like mine plain so they don’t distract from the beauty of the plants in them. In fact, some of my clay pots have holes in the sides to allow the orchid roots to get air and even grow out. The pot is just a setting for the flower, not a work of art in itself. That’s what I think of when I read this:
“God has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God…but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” (2 Cor. 4:6-7 NLT)
Another mental image I have is of a cracked pot with a light inside, shining through the flaw. It doesn’t matter if I look good or not. The glory is God’s, and I’m privileged to be a container for it, showing Him off to others.
