A New Look In Christ

So, in my search for the "NEW-found" color that I've fallen in love with, it took me forever to find just the right shade of teal. Yes....there are several different shades in this family of "blue greens." When I found it online, I rushed in to my husband and said, "babe, this weekend, I will be re-painting the trinkets that I sprayed with the not so teal color that I grabbed from Lowe's." He looked at me and just smiled. I purchased two bottles without taking my time to really find what I wanted.

We do this oh too often. We make snappy decisions, buy things without praying, say words without thinking, we act out without any regard for the consequences, etc;  I could go on and on. As I'm working on the different projects that I take on, it's a time of reflection for me. I pray, think about life, talk to the Lord and most of all I thank Him for all that He's done for me. Not for the monetary things, but because He allows me an opportunity to do His perfect will on a daily basis. 

Spray painting is a way to transform something you really don't like into something you LoVE! Not in an idol form, but into something that would look good with what you already have.This is how I look at my life in Christ. He has forgiven me for every single sin I have ever committed AND the good thing is, He didn't just cover me up with spray paint and hang me out to dry so I'd fit where ever. His blood covered a multitude of sins and what wonderful news that is. He cleanses us and then makes us not only fit to live, but to do a work for HIM.

Just as I love to make things pretty and new to me, God desires to do the same for us. We are beautiful in His sight an there is a work that needs to be done. John 9:4 reads "We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work." It's time to get busy doing what God wants us to do. Are you ready? Do you have a mind to please Him? Or do you just want to be covered by the spray paint and left to look pretty hanging on a wall or sitting on a desk? 

Crazy analogy I know, but the new look that I desire to have is the look of one that has made me complete in HIM! 

Now, on to the weekend, where I plan to re-spray my frames and such, in the "new teal!!!!!" Hey a gal's gotta enjoy life all around!

Smooches,
