Think of a house. A house that's totally falling a part and all run down. But then someone moves in and puts a Sold sign in the yard and starts rebuilding the house. Before long you can see the evidence of the new owners work. The house is slowly but surely being restored and you can tell that it's going to be beautiful when it's all done.
You are that house! He made us all unique and and gave us each of the qualities that makes us...us. Sadly, sin messed everything up and ruined what God had made. Now, God wants to reshape us into the person we were meant to be before sin twisted everything up. As we submit our lives to Him and live according to His plan, we'll see the best qualities in us come out and the not-so-good-ones will shrink away.
- What do you think is one of the good qualities that God is building into your life (it's ok to say something good about yourself!)?
- Pause now and ask God to help you live according to His plan and to keep working to restore your life to His original design.

What a good visual! That really made me think about how God is working in me. I look at the outside, the products of Gods work, rather than whats going on inside me, and that usually leads to dissapointments.
I think I'm very compassionate and a good listener, but I could really work on using my words the right way, and loving EVERYONE...
