I decided today that I wanted to be Gods next fixer upper project. Sitting here all day very limited in what I am allowed to do gave me time to think about what I really need God to do in my life. I thought it would be great to be Gods next BIG job. What would be the first thing he would do? What would the finished product look like?
I can say that when Mike and I were remodeling our kitchen we threw our hearts into it. Paying special attention to every detail to ensure we would be happy with the results. During the project we had moments that were pretty ugly. Our patience ran thin with each other at times. The project took a little longer then we had hoped.
How fun it was to watch the transformation take place. I knew that I wanted everything in a different place as it once was. We had a chance to make our kitchen the way WE wanted it to be. When the project was complete we were so happy that it was done and proud that WE did it ourselves. We had one chance to make a complete change and we did.
I would love for God to move in and fix me up to his standards. How long would it take him to finish his project. I wonder what he would change and what he would keep. Would I argue about some of the details he wanted to add or remove? Replace the old with new and pay attention to the detail he wants to see. God is perfect in every way. I can imagine how he would pour is entire heart into making me who HE wants me to be. I would be exactly the way I was supposed to be. He would stand back and smile at his finished project. How proud I would be of my craftsman!
You know what Darlin, you already ARE made in His image. You are already perfect in His eyes. You are amazingly beautiful, both inside and out!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes things happen in our lives that distort OUR view of what God sees. But just know that God's view of you has never changed!
I love you Girlie!
