2 Timothy 2:20-21
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
Because we have answered the call to follow Jesus, we have the potential to be those "instruments for special purposes" and to be useful to God. Although we start out as ordinary, we change as we follow Christ's teaching; we become more and more "special" and therefore useful to God. It is hard to recognize those special purposes, I think. They may not seem like a big deal at the time, but they may ultimately have a big impact.
Holy Lord, help me to follow Jesus in all that I say and do. I hope to never miss a chance to do your will or to play a role in your good works. Amen
Becky, transforming
