The Master Carpenter

After - A Beautiful Home

Before-A Run Down Pit

There is a man in the Body of Christ who has been like a Grandpa to me. God has gifted him with the ability to take an ugly run down house that people once called a home and see the beauty that can exist. For instance this house in the above picture is one that he purchased and has in three months completely overhauled. I am reminded of what the psalmist says in Psalm 103 how "God takes us out of the pit". I am thankful that through sanctification he continually rebuilds my life into a beautiful dwelling for His glory. This house was not an easy build in the midst they had challenge after challenge but, with perseverance they are almost finished. Oh how often is that my life. The hard times of toil often accompanied by anguish as we die to our selfishness and former ways can often feel so meaningless. Yet, in the end we trust that God truly does work for the good of those whom love him who he has called. So we to may be a beautiful work displaying is the glory of the Master Carpenter. I know this may seem corny but hey I like corny.
