Breaking the Sealed Jar

VIRGINIA C. CARR

Our Wednesday evening meetings offer to each one the opportunity to break his sealed jar of precious ointment and share treasured healing with others.

The gratitude silently welling up within our hearts unseals the sacred treasure which may have been hidden deep, or even forgotten, until the moment comes for its revealing.

How often, as we go to these Wednesday evening meetings and commune within ourselves of our blessings, does the gratitude flooding our hearts baptize us afresh with the springtide of Soul! Just the right way to express this gratitude may not always seem to accompany the love and happiness and thankfulness we feel, and so we sometimes sit silent while others speak. Perhaps we resolve to give our testimony next time. Possibly for weeks we ourselves are enriched by the unspoken testimony forming in our hearts. The congregation also is enriched, for such gratitude is felt, and though unvoiced, it is the Christ-presence expressing itself within us and shedding its silent benediction on other receptive hearts.
