A vessel of honor may often be plain
And belie the true wealth which it may contain.
It won't seek a spotlight or have need to "star".
It's purpose is deeper and greater by far.
In humility's quietness honor is birthed
To create a vessel of very great worth.
This vessel will "stand" and it's value be known.
In heavenly places it's name will be sown.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19 KJV
