Within the past week or so, my papaw has had to redo the siding of his house to fit the insurance companies satisfaction. You know because apparently they discovered that wood is flammable. Who knew right? It's kind of crazy if you ask me, but some vinyl siding will perk up the outside of his wooden house. So far it's coming along great and meeting all expectations. It's a good thing too because I'm pretty sure insurance is necessary. This make over will defiantly look pretty great. Well, thinking about this situation earlier, God gave me something. And, I just love it when that happens.
Do you remember what God did to you the moment he saved you? Yeah, that's right. He gave you a new spirit alive in him. Well, it's kind of like what we are doing to papaw's house. You see, the wooden siding was all beaten and worn because of time and encounters with each passing storm. Basically, it was ragged and unsafe (according to the insurance company). Well, that's like we were before we got saved. Ragged, beat up, good for nothing sinners. We had been beaten by the storms of the world and was regarded as unsafe. If we didn't find some way of fixing ourselves up, we would continue to have no insurance. So, that's when we called the Contractor. we didn't as for new siding, we asked for a new spirit. And that's just what he gave us.
I wondered what was so good about my papaw switching to vinyl siding, so I researched its benefits. It turns out, vinyl siding is easy to install, affordable, offers better protection, has less maintenance, is more durable, and increases the value of your home. Now, let me relate that to our lives. Our new spirit is easy to install. All you have to do is ask. It's also affordable because it's free. We have better protection and durability to face anything life throws at us. There's less maintenance because our spirit is perfect, and it's value is unreachable and un-tradeable.
Well, since my papaw is fixing up his house, the insurance company will hopefully show mercy on him and let him keep his policy. Aren't you glad that one day God didn't cancel your policy and send you to Hell but had mercy on you and gave you eternal life insurance. I know I am. And, even better yet, he thought the new siding made such a difference, he decided to move in the transformed house to abide forever. It's really amazing to know we have a God this good.
