Ugly!

                          So I came up with a new metaphor for you guys today! You've probably heard it in a different form though, so it may not be all that great! Haha. Anyways, my uncle and aunt are moving to Elkford, in BC. They just bought a house bigger than the one they live in now. Except that's it's really ugly, it's an ugly, ugly house! But my uncle agrees that it's worth it, because of the surrounding land. The house also has the potential to be a nice house, so they may work on it. What is my point? My point is that we, believers and non-believers are the ugly house! We are rotten, wretched sinners. WE do not deserve the love of God. WE are an ugly house. And God is the Surrounding beauty, that covers us, that makes it worth it. If we allow Him to, we have the potential to be better. To be made new. God can do that for us, He can build us, and paint us into something better. He is the potter, and we are the clay...Because of Him, we are worth being looked at. WE are worth being made new. If that house hadn't been sitting where it is, my aunt and uncle would most likely not have bought it. But because of where it sits, it was worth it, and they took the time to see that the house has potential. WE have potential, if we let God work on us...I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if it didn't! Have a great week as you bask in God's GREAT love...and protection...for YOU! :)
