New Carpet Day 314

Ezekiel 36:25-26 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from your idols.  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

For the past 3 days Rick and I have worked diligently to empty 2 bedrooms, in preparation for new carpet that will soon be installed.  Years of wear and traffic patterns surfaced as we emptied the rooms. This once pristine carpet has seen it`s better days, time to be discarded and replaced. 

Unlike this carpets, when we are worn out and show signs of life`s traffic patterns, we are not torn-up and trashed.  As I have shared, many of my personal journeys through out the last year, this is when Jesus does His best work in us!  We don`t even have to write him a huge check, like the carpet guys!  He does it for free, just because He loves us!

Zephaniah 3:17  The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.

That sounds like a plan to me, God will not throw me in the trash, he will work around the worn spots and quiet me with his love.  No matter how deep the stains of life have scarred my soul, he loves me just the way I am, he`s singing over me!  Can`t get better than that!  Thank you, Father!

Isaiah 1:18-19  "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD.  "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.  If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land.

Are you willing, to be renewed from the inside out, by your heavenly Father?  NO CHARGE, SATISFACTION GUARANTEED......................Amen
