The Burn Pile

Back in January when I began renovations on the Farm House I had no idea what I was getting into. Ended up, I did a total "gutting" of the house. From drywall, doors, cabinets, plumbing, electrical-- everything was replaced.  If you don't already know, gutting a house leaves quite a bit of trashed material.  So, I began a burn like. And it grew and grew to the monster that it is today.  That is, until today. Today the burning commenced.  With shovel and hose and the local fire department all close at hand, the burn pile- the evidence of so much work, of so much change- it is ablaze.  

You know- when we come to Christ- that's what happens, isn't it. It may take a while- it may take months or years for all your junk-- all your past and the problems and pain you have brought on yourself through sinful choices- it may take a while for it all to pile up. But when you finally allow The Lord to set it ablaze- when you finally allow Him to cleanse you by fire- by destroying what is snaring you-- then- be ready to see Him to great things in your life!

Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
