Today we had a great sermon at church, but the part that I took the most out of happened to be the children's sermon. If you know me that should come as no surprise due to my maturity level. ;) haha
The pastor showed the children an empty jar and asked... "do you ever feel like this jar?" the kids all said... "No" haha, it was a little over their heads so the pastor replied, "well someday when you grow up at times you probably will." He then went on to ask the kiddos, "what do you this Jesus would want you to put in this jar?" one of the kids then shouted out." JELLY!" hahah Priceless response.
After the congregation died down from laughing he went on to explain that to many of us try to use earthly things to fill our "jar" in life. He asked, "What are you trying to fill your empty jar with?" "Money? Love? A New Car? More Friends? A bigger house?.." The list could go on forever.
He then explains that the empty jar can never be FULL without the love of Jesus Christ.
So today, I am asking myself.. What am I trying to fill my hypothetical jar with? What material things are junking up my life in an effort to make me fill more full? Today I will start paying more attention & remembering that the only thing that can satisfy & fill my soul is the Love of Christ.
