Empty Vessel

Did you ever think about what condition the vessels were, that the man of God asked the woman of God to gather? Some were tall, some were short, some were chipped, some were dirty, some still had a little oil I suppose.

But what happened after they were filled with oil. What power and anointing filled those jars? So strong so powerful that just the essence of it all made you whole. Filled you with God’s presence. Filled you and healed you inside out. So awesome that the anointing of the oil healed your spirit and your soul.

When we seek God with our whole heart, the oil in those vessels heals. God’s oil healed me from trials and tribulations. His oil healed me from hurt and pain. His oil gives me the power to renew my faith. His oil touches my heart, spirit, mind, and soul in so many ways.

When I think about the oil in the alabaster box and what it was used for, all I can do is fall to my knees and cry and praise the Lord. Such power, such love from someone who loved me and our Father so much.

Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice.
