Yesterday was demolition day and oh my
it was noisy. To my surprise though I thought that once all the
goodies were knocked out that would be the end of the
banging......apparently not! They did however manage to get the
floor tiles laid, which is good progress.
Renovations are much like the work the
Holy Spirit does with us after we are saved. Salvation ensures the
immediate rebirth of our spirit from death to eternal life but the
renewing of our minds takes work and that is the Holy Spirit's job.
The Holy Spirit will take us through
some difficult times where our soul gets rough edges knocked off it
and maybe like carpets there are things that need to be ripped out as
well and like home renovations the process can be painful. The goal
though is the transformation of our hearts to reflect the image of
Christ.
Like home renovations too, the pain
eventually ends and we are left with a masterpiece of beauty that
brings glory to God.
