BURN OUT
Monday is my day off and I spent it again feeding wood onto the Ash tree stump in my front yard. Again I had to use artificial wind from my box fan. By the end of the day the stump was at ground level. I believe with one more burn day I’ll have it burned to my desired depth: 2 inches under level. Some things just seem to take forever to reach your goal.
And its like that in our spiritual growth, as well. God can touch our hearts in about one minute. But it takes a lifetime to develop that heart into something He can use. There is just so much worldliness in each of us. And some of us are harder than others and take even longer. But God never loses patience with us. He can see what we can become.
The hard thing for us is to see who we are in Christ and not be filled with pride as we do. When we finally get there, every else will be a pile of ash. Go with God.
