Remember the 'good ole days' when you could afford to load the family up in the giant family car and go on a peaceful Sunday afternoon drive? With $3 a gallon gas those days are long gone.
If you can remember those days, no doubt you can remember the old abandoned houses sitting out in fields and on hillsides. I do and even catch my self looking for those lonely run-down old homes even today. Those houses were once no doubt beautiful homes complete with the white picket fences. They were full of love. Children ran around outside playing while the mother busied herself with household chores and the dad worked out in the fields or was tending the animals. Eventually, the kids grew up and moved on. The moms and dads grew old and passed on leaving the unwanted old house to deteriate in the weather and strms. Even today, some of these houses could be saved and renovated if only a master carpenter would come in and invest in it.
You know, the human heart (soul) is much like these old houses. The heart that once was full of joy and peace is now broken and beaten down by the storms of this life. Where there once was joy, now only sorry remains. Just as the master carpenter could come in a save one of the old houses I talked about earlier, I know of The Master Carpenter who can come into that boken heart, torn and weather by the mess of this life and totally recreate it, making it new and whole again. All you have to do is to invite Him in. He has already made the investment, He has already paid for the renovation. If your find your heart in this condition, why don't you invite The Master Carpenter, Jesus Christ to make your heart new again? He stands ready, tools in hand to complete the job and fill your heart with peace and joy.
