                     A Fine China Tea Cup

I saw a picture of a 'fine china tea cup' and I sensed the Lord saying 
that He is looking for a 'quality' in His people. We are the vessels and 
the containers that He will pour out through.  What is the taste that 
you will leave?  

For when you drink tea from a 'fine china tea' cup compared to a 'plastic
cup,' you can certainly taste the difference.  A fine china tea cup goes 
through many firings in a kiln so that quality and finish can come forth.  
We too are in the journey of 'process', and as we allow Him to fashion 
and transform our hearts, we will come forth like that 'fine china', a 
masterpiece of His workmanship to bring forth a true representation of 
Christ.
