My lovely mother sent this to me. “Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin” She saw it from Iverson Tree Farm. Not sure if they originated this idea or not. But I love it and wanted to share with you all.
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin
God picks you from the patch and brings you in.
Then washes all the dirt off of you
He opens you up and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.
Then He carves you a new smiling face.
And He puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
Picks you from the patch - John 15:16: You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
Washes the dirt - 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:; The old has gone, the new is here!
Scoops the yucky - Romans 6:6: For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
He carves - Psalm 71:23: My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.
Puts His light - Matthew 5:16: In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
