Hello ,
Who said that you can't turn
an old, beat-up car into something beautiful? In 2014 a Lithuanian man was tired of his old, beat-up Mercedes-Benz CLK and wanted to transform it into something new and exciting. So he refurbished his old car with expandable foam-yes, foam. He started by covering the exterior, and once the foam hardened, he meticulously carved away until the lumpy body resembled a sleek sports car. He did the same to the interior, covering the dashboard with a foamy, bubbly mess. After hours of meticulous
sculpting, the addition of shiny rims, and paint job, the rusty-grey junker was transformed into a ruby-red muscle car. If you didn't know the car's back story, you'd probably assume it was the prototype for a new line. Now, after hours of meticulous work from this man, take a look at the finished product: Now, take a peek at the interior: Spiritual application? Because of sin, we all are like a beat-up junk car. If we want to be truly
beautiful and perform like we were intended, we need a drastic makeover. God is slowly working on each of us to transform our entire being (although it this point we might look like a junker covered with messy foam), and one day he will bring his work to completion.
"Being confident of this very thing; that He which hath begun a good work
in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phillipians 1:6
You and I may be messy, but we;re not SO messy that Jesus can't bring something beautiful out of our lives. Remember that when you're feeling down on yourself. God doesn't make junk.
Have a great day and God bless!
