Christian Devotional-Stories and Bible verses about the presence of God in our lives

God’s Transformation

“Wow!” he says.  “Beautiful…”

Transformation

His antique toy looks new again…

He’s on one of those TV shows where you see the mess before…

And the beautiful transformation after.

A house that’s unlivable…

A collectible that’s broken and faded.

We watch as craftsmen work to bring new glory to something old…

All framed in tight shots so can’t see what’s really happening.

And then the camera pulls back…

And we see the transformation …

The moment the TV shows call “The Reveal” …

A moment always followed by a gasp of amazement…

“When I take this toy home everybody’s gonna want to play with it,” he says.

“But I’ll say, ‘No.  Look.  Don’t touch!’”

It had been a toy…

Now it was a museum piece…

Before and after…

We’re all hooked.

Even when it comes to souls.

We all want to see the soul that’s a mess…

The soul that looks lost until God steps in.

We all want to see the reveal…

God’s transformation …

Making it new and shiny…

We gasp in amazement.

“What a bright shiny soul,” we say.…

“Not perfect… but too good to get dirty.”

“Maybe we should preserve it for the day we meet God…”

Or not…

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely…but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”  ― Hunter S. Thompson

God says….

Don’t sit on the sidelines…

Run the race…

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.  1 Corinthians 9:24

Run…

Run for God…

Run hard…

Run with everything we’ve got.

…love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.   Matthew 22:37

Besides…

Things that sit on the shelf may not wear out…

But they rust…

And corrode…

And turn to dust.

 What are your thoughts?

Ever been through a transformation so profound you wanted to keep things just as they were forever?
