Am I Enough?
Yes.
New day. One day. Am I enough?
I am a jar of clay, existing to be filled by you, Lord. What I hold will be what is valued.
But when empty, am I worth nothing? Clay, from mud, so meager. Yet in its usefulness so grand.
❖
Even a simple, empty vessel: let me be that today.
Even empty, I am enough.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I be a vessel today?
