There was a sweet breeze to keep things cool for a
bit this morning, so I began painting the pallet “walls” today!! Painting and
humming along with the doves made for a peaceful morning. There’s just
something great about taking these old pallets and giving them new life!
The thought struck me that this is exactly what
God does with us, by restoring us and giving us a usefulness in His kingdom.
Tho’ I paint sloppily with my brush, He covers us beautifully, completely by
Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
I watched as I painted today, as the grain of two
of the boards matched up. Unnoticeable before the paint, but as the paint went
on the swirls of the grain lined up perfectly. Like us? On the outside, in our
human-ness, the differences seem many, but covered in Christ we match! Our
“grains” are as intertwined with each other as our eternity is in The Cross…our
steps of life made perfect in our steps with Him.
He has declared that He will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations He
has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord
your God, as He promised.
Deuteronomy 26:19
The visual picture of the painted grains melding together made me think of each of us and our sins as a layer of the grains that composed the wood of the tree that formed "the" cross that held our savior.
