Jars of Clay is a refuge for women like you who are weary, burnt out, overwhelmed, fed up with all life's troubles or are just feeling lost. It is a place to recover from hurt, insecurity, imbalance and fear; and it is where you can experience kindness, joy, perspective, & hope. Come into the sanctuary to re-gain focus and improve your overall mental and emotional wellness.
The phrase “jars of clay” comes from the Biblical scripture 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 that says, “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.” Hardship and pressure does not have to mean destruction!

In ancient times, it was not uncommon for people to hide their valuables, like jewelry and money, in plain sight inside common clay jars. As extraordinary creations of God (clay), each one of us is born with unique gifts, talents, and abilities (treasures), that have strategically been placed on the inside of us. Many of us forget they are even there or have never recognized them at all, because of all the complexities of life that can mask them.
But don’t you worry! You haven’t lost your treasure. It’s still inside you waiting to be put to its best and most meaningful use. Romans 11:29 says, “God’s gifts and call are irrevocable.” That means he doesn’t take them back, and that is a truth you can hope in. It’s time for you discover or re-discover what has been hiding inside your jar of clay. |
