Before After
It sure doesn’t seem like it takes long to get a room dirty. My grandkids can do it quicker than quick. Perhaps they learned it from their grandma who is known as a “pack rat.” That is someone who likes to collect things and hold on to more.
What’s interesting is the fact that things pile up and pile up before we even realize it. It takes a great deal of effort on our part to clean it up and get it looking as it should. Perhaps if we would do that as we go along the task wouldn’t be that hard.
We do that with our personal lives and the junk we allow to pile up in it. Before we know it we have a mess because of the choices we have made, the attitudes we have held on to, and the emotions we’ve allowed to control us. At first glance it looks like it would be impossible to ever be able to straighten it all out but with time and effort we can.
With the help of the Lord we can clean up the messes we have made. It is to Him we need to run to and seek forgiveness and guidance going forward. If we stay strong before we know it we will find our way moving from the “before” picture to the “after” picture. A picture made perfect in Christ through our weaknesses.
To some it may take longer to get the job done but if we stay with Christ all things are possible. In other words, we need to make sure that we don’t give up until the job is done!
