The Process...

We are in the middle of renovating the space of our new church building. The past two nights we have been cleaning up messes only to make more messes. If you only evalutate progress on the amount of chaos you see at the end of your time, you can become very discouraged thinking that you will never again get to a point where things look atleast presentable. However, if you take into consideration that projects are like this (mess, clean, mess clean) then you can keep the end result in mind (masterpiece).

Life is a lot like this, especially on the Christian journey. We come to Christ broken and in pieces, because of His redeeming power He puts us back together. Then as we fall deeper in love with Him; He starts breaking old parts of us off, leaving shattered pieces on the floor and restoring and strengthening us in being more whole, more like Him.

This process (mess, clean, mess, clean) will continue everyday until we reach the throne room of the Almighty.

What a beautiful mess we are when we are being restored by the love of Christ.

Heart and Soul,
