Be a good pumpkin...
Not a bad one..
A woman was asked by a co-worker,'What is it like to be a Christian?' The co-worker replied, 'It 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.'
This cute story was in an e-mail I received today. It fits perfectly with the message I heard Joyce Meyer give this morning. She was talking with different people about how we need to let the love of God be evident in our daily life. We don't need to force everyone into saying the sinner's prayer, but instead we need to show them how our life has been changed by the Lord. It's pretty simple, but also very inspiring. Maybe God is trying to teach me something by the illuminated pumpkins this season.
