On Sunday a good friend and I decided to attend the Cars in the Park exhibition at Zwartkops raceway, but not before stopping at Wimpy for breakfast. Seeing all the cars was really amazing but of particular interest to me was the condition of the various vehicles.
Some had been restored to absolute pristine condition while others had been left in a slightly shabby state. That made me wonder if the owners had done so to retain the authenticity of the vehicle, or whether they were still in the process of being restored or whether they just didn't really care to much to put an effort in.
When people look at our lives what do they see? Do they see a Christian that has a solid relationship with God and cares for the world? Do they see a Christian who has lost themselves in the past to the point where they are not prepared to move forward and put their best effort forth? Do they see a Christian who has lost all hope of ever seeing God renew their lives?
Sure I know that restoring the soul is just as much hard work as restoring and old car, but when the job is done, we will be spectacular to all who will peep through our windows, stare at our dashboard and wonder what it must be like to be behind the wheel of this beauty.
