The Alabaster Box

The atmosphere is changing and waves of glory are pouring forth. When the woman walked into the room with Jesus and his close party in Mark 14, no one could smell the spices in the alabaster box. They didn't know what gift she had inside to pour back out unto the Lord. They saw her as a woman who had no place approaching men. They saw her as a sinner, but not themselves as sinners. She walked in with boldness and gave it all, everything she had, she poured out. Do we know the gift He has placed within us to be poured back out at His feet for His Kingdom? Forget when they tell me that I am divorced and disqualified from service. That is up to the Lord and His calling upon me. I answer to Him alone. I will pour out all that I have unto Him. He saw her heart and motives and she is remembered today for it. That gift he has placed within is ready to be broken open and poured out. I have already been broken, yet not shattered. John 6:12 says, “Gather up all the fragments that nothing is left behind.” He is speaking of the loaves and fishes which He blessed and broke and handed out. I am thankful that He chooses to use broken vessels. It was part of the journey, part of the Potter shaping me.

Mitzi - This is a very inspiring piece. God loves to use the broken and downtrodden for His glory. Thank you for your comments on my poem. In Christ's Love, Julia

Extremely good writing. I loved the analogies you chose to use in this write. He has placed a gift in each one of us to give back to Him with. If he took no delight in broken vessels we would all be in trouble. A wonderful write.

Mitzi, a beautiful illustration of what God can do to ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The Potter's Wheel may not be a joyful ride, the broken vessel may not be a pleasant sight, but God uses those to make us all beautiful in His sight. Praise HIM!

Powerful anointed moving piece beautifully written! Oh yes, precious sister God uses the Broken and heals the pain and uses the weak for His Glory!
You are a precious vessel of God's Grace and He will continue to use your Life for His Glory.
Keep writing and keep singing for the Lord!!!

With Jesus Love,
Dee

Amen Mitzi! 2 Tim.9-who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, NOT according to OUR WORKS, but according TO HIS OWN PURPOSE and GRACE which was GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE TIME BEGAN. You have a great talent for the Lord, and He will not let anyone rob you of your gift to Him, for that is what He created you for. Love, Sharon
