Christians and pumpkins....

A christian is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

I am so thankful everyday that God picked this "Bad Pumpkin" and removed all the bad seeds from my life. Jesus didn't have all the seeds we struggle with day by day. Yet he paid the ultimate price for us and our bad seeds. It was such a horrible price to pay. I just hope the people around me see the light of Jesus shining in me everyday.



But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
