I was doing some
re-decorating and thought about throwing out an old chair that didn’t match my
décor anymore. I liked the shape of it and it wasn’t broken but it had some
nicks and scratches on it and the padding needed changed. I thought should I get
rid of it, fix it or buy a new one? I knew that it had potential and with a
little work it could be a new thing of beauty. The key here is to be able to visualize
the potential in something that looks like it’s beyond repair. Well I decided
to sand it, paint it and recover it with some new material. When my project was
done I stood back and admired the finished work that the Lord blessed and
enabled me to do. I was now looking at a thing of beauty that was originally worn
out and almost discarded.
Many of us are broken, hurt and can be compared to that worn out chair
before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The transformation and
rebuilding of our lives takes time and sometimes the sanding (rebuilding) can
hurt. Maybe you feel like things aren’t changing as fast as you’d like them
to—don’t grow weary, stay in the race, Jesus has the perfect plan for your life.
He see’s the potential in you so let Him do the life changing work that needs
to be done in you from the inside out. In time His word will change your heart
so He will have a permanent place to reside and you and I can become more like
Him. “Dear
friends…he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But
we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.” 1
John 3:2.
