Recently, my husband along with the help of our wonderful cousins Ray and Evelyn have taken on a huge DIY remodel; our bedroom. We literally have removed everything to the bare walls. Our first project was to prime and paint. Pretty simple right, until you see the exposed walls and all it's holes, cracks and chipped paint. All of them out in the open visible, noticeable and it's not a pretty sight. There was plenty of work in store, cracks to be repaired, holes to be spackled and chipped paint to be scraped and sanded down. It took a lot of elbow grease and patience to get those walls looking in great condition but we got it done.
Once the repairing was complete it was time to prime and paint. I couldn't believe the transformation. It turned out absolutely wonderful (pics to come soon). It was great to see that labor of love turn into something so beautiful and my husband and I are so proud of what we have accomplished so far.
However, the Lord is the Master Transformer! He is ready to restore, repurpose and renew us. He wants us to come to Him with no masks, no cover ups, just US in our truest self with all of our cracks, holes and chipped "paint". All we have to do is "expose our bare walls" to Him and He will begin to repair us...in fact He will make us new. His labor of love will certainly transform us into something wonderful and beautiful. A creation that He certainly is most proud of!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
