OUR ONLY PURPOSE

My blinding flash of the obvious in re my hospital visits: I never have an idea before walking in the doors what we'll talk about. I am simply the container, the watering can, that God is using to wet the seeds already planted in each person. I just need to take the can to them, and God will pour forth the water. Thank you.

We are each simply the container for God's use. That is our entire reason for being...to be a good and proper watering can to pore forth, not hold onto, as much water as flows into us. The water that flows into and out of the watering can is for the benefit of others to grow the seeds God has already planted.

The hardest part for us is not becoming enchanted with the outer appearance of the watering can...does it look as good as hers, is it bigger than theirs, better than his? Our focus needs be entirely on staying unclogged, rust free, fit for God's daily use in poring Itself through us into others.

Our only purpose on this earth is simply as the outlet for the presence and power of God.

Thank you.
