Ordinary People Turned Extraordinary

As a kid we used to go to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri when you could just walk across the swinging bridge and enjoy the crafts and the street fight free of charge. (I know I just aged myself…but oh well. lol).

I can still remember those talented craftsmen blowing glass or molding clay into beautiful pieces.

As I think back on that experience today, I’m reminded how they would take a big ole ordinary lump of clay and turn it into an extraordinary work of art. The same with the glass. It was amazing to see the transformation.

Those treasures were easily broken and had to have care from someone to really show their beauty.

When you’re around someone that just seems to have a glow about them or are so kind and caring…you realize they are different than the ordinary Joe. They have something that can only come from knowing the one who created them. Even though they alone are weak, with Him they shine.

The only way to be an extraordinary person in an ordinary perishable body is to know Jesus and the power that lives within you.

2 Corinthians 4:7 TLB

[7] But this precious treasure-this light and power that now shine within us-is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies. Everyone can see that the glorious power within must be from God and is not our own. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
