Life is not always easy, even for Christians. Just as there will always be good times, there will also be struggles and challenges. The proof of a life of faith is not a life free from stress, worry, or hard things. The proof of a life of faith is a life lived despite those things. In 2 Corinthians, Paul tells us that we are a vessel (or container) for the spirit of God. The vessel isn’t special because of what the vessel is made of. What makes the vessel special is what is inside. Here is the best part- when the vessel is put under pressure, when it cracks or chips, it is not destroyed. Instead, the Spirit inside comes spilling out for everyone to see. Ask God to give you strength and allow people to see Jesus through the “cracks” in your vessel.
