Looking out on the playground equipment and the fences, I could see the decaying wood. It's remarkable how long some of this wood had lasted, and yet some of the wood rots away quicker.
Why is that? It comes from the same source--a tree. It is sitting in the same yard, so it sees the same weather-sunshine and rain. It had all been pressure treated around the same time. So why the difference in how much it rotted away?
This has made me think, how different each of us are. Some of us are quicker to see our mistakes and how far away from the Lord we have come. Some of us are a little slower at realizing that the weather is effecting us. Others are in complete denial of ever doing anything wrong. And others are in complete ignorance of what they've done, and that it's causing them to decay.
Luckily though, we have a Savior who is willing to rebuild us no matter how rotted we have become. He'll come and replace the rotten wood with new wood and help us start fresh. He'll spruce us up and clean out the gunk. Rebuild your life.
