Fifteen years ago I got this awesome guitar that made me feel like a Rock Star! It was top of the line and it was bad to the bone. It had all the bells and whistles. About 3 months ago, I realized that I haven't played it in 6 years. Why?
I'm not sure, I guess because it was run-down, beat-up and outdated. But what happened to it? ...I guess time did.... time happened to it.
Sometimes we find ourselves the same way, beat-up and useless... but the good news is that God has promised us a permanent "restoration"... He makes us beautiful every day... the more we trust in Him, the more He polishes and shines us.
Some of us need a little more work than others but it's never too late to allow Christ to bring us back to life....
Ephesians 4:22-24
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
Last night I started to bring my old guitar "Back to life"... I have stripped all the hardware and paint and I am going to make this old guitar what it once was:Top of the line....No matter how long it takes! Because I know it can still fulfill the exact purpose it was designed to do... rock out some worship to the King of Glory!!! I haven't lost hope in this guitar, and God hasn't lost hope in you. Let him strip you down and rebuild what only he can!
