But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 (NIV)
We carry within us the greatest Love — One who died so we could live, One that compels us to die to ourselves so others can also live. This Love is the strength that carries us when we don’t think we can go another step. He’s the path that shows us where to go when nothing makes sense. Love — God — lives within us, and He wants to show Himself to those around us, to the world, through our imperfectness, so others can see Him clearly.
Let’s love as He loved us — generously, keeping in mind that the treasure of His love is meant to be shared.

We have especially if saved a Treasure that is so rich that not even money can buy it. That is Love of Jesus in our hearts. That is a love that no one can buy. Not even if given all the money in the world. We that are saved are the richest people alive. We are to show it my living our lives as the word of God tell us in the Bible. Plus saying our prayers. So as the unsaved will see the love of Jesus in us and want what we have that is to Jesus for themselves. Every thing we do and say is about Jesus. Because Jesus lives in our hearts. That song comes to mind. You get it on YouTube “Oh the great great love of Jesus” what a song that is. Worth listening too. As it is great love. No better love and no better life could we live.

In Courage,
There is a song that come to mind: Chris Tomlin’s “At the Cross”. It talks about God’s unsurpassing love towards us. That plus His grace & mercy bestowed on us generously should make us want to share Jesus with everyone. Because of His great great love for me I volunteer most Fridays at Loaves & Fishes Food Bank. You can find me doing anything from dishes, cleaning, packing or handing out meals to helping with food boxes. We have had several customers converted to Christ. I also help out with Recovery Soldiers-drug addiction recovery. My church cooks for them once a month & we buy needed supplies for them. Those are two ways I can use my talents to serve God & shine His light in this dark world.
Blessings 🙂
