He cares enough

I went to the dollar store to get some things for my office and ran across a bag of rubber bands.  I love rubber bands.  When I was a kid my mom had a ball of rubber bands in her desk drawer. She used to let me play with it.  Totally thought it was cool..made me smile.  So I got this genius idea that I would make my own rubber band ball.  I set out on my task to wrap and stretch and form these bands into a ball. It reminded me of how much the Lord has been changing me.  I’ve come to realize that its not the outside that matters its what’s inside.  It’s what I believe.  I am daily reminded of something the Lord said to me a few years ago. “What if everything that you’ve been taught to believe is wrong.”  Of course I tested the spirit to make sure that it was the Lord that I heard because what the heck right.  Everything that I was taught molded and shaped how I believe I should be.  But God is good and He cares enough about me to stretch and twist and snap me into shape, just like the ball I was making.  Isaiah 64:8  Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.  So I’m on this journey with the Lord to fix my stinking thinking.
