A vessel of honor is a person whose sole intent in life is to live for God and not for himself. This ultimate desire to please God drives him to seek an intimate relationship with God more than anything else he does for Him. He loves God for who He is and not for what God has done for him. The prayer of his heart is always for God to work in him before He can work through him; and as God gives him grace to minister to others, he uses every opportunity to glorify Christ alone. His agenda is to be an avenue through which God can dispense His love and grace to a world that is wounded and lost. A vessel of honor does not care for recognition or the praises of men; his delight is in taking the place of a servant in order to do the will of his Master.
