A Chosen vessel has a certain quality about it. The treasure that is on the inside of the earthen vessel has the capacity to lift you beyond the destruction that exists around you.  God’s testing places are often not those that we expect.  Some have dreams and visions of being a martyr for the cause of Christ.  The thought enters the mind of how they will stand in front of the firing squad with a hood over their head awaiting the bullet to strike the heart.  Others envision dying in some obscure jungle at the hands of the natives after attempting to spread the Gospel.
