Decide who you want to be. As a vessel, you get to choose. What are your qualities? What do you want to your purpose to be?
Being a vessel comes with a lot of responsibility – you can only pour out what you allow in. If you want to be a inventor – are you surrounding yourself with innovation? Are you training in the skills you need to succeed? Are you pouring out, in your design studio, what you have created in your head? Are you becoming a vessel of innovation?
People have their own purpose – their own vessel. Some choose to be a vessel of light to help guide people on their journey, some become vessels of destruction and tear people down around them. Identifying your purpose, your vessel, will allow you to pour into others what you’ve grown into yourself.
At VSSL, we are filling our vessels to overflow into helping people on their journey of innovation and purpose. We have filled our lives with design, skills, and seeking our greater purpose. We hope we can be a vessel of light to help you find yours.
Luke 8:16
16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
