Since a big explosive event near our home last year, half a dozen homes have been repaired extensively. Tons of rubble have been hauled off in dumpsters, to make room for the new construction. In the same way, the Lord Jesus Christ is in
the process of re-working my spiritual structure, and yours, through the Holy Spirit's work in us. The emotional habits and spiritual ideas I grew up with are all in need of re-working, and likely, yours too. Tons of spiritual rubble, or garbage, are being hauled away as our spirits are being transformed into the image of Christ, through his grace. The result? His glory as our Savior is visible to others who begin to see Jesus in us and decide to seek him too.
So if you're going through a spiritual cleanup or a remodel, be glad that the rubble and garbage going out the door is the work of God; and that the result is completely up to God, and that he's really good at it. You and I can wave a glad goodbye to our trash!
