Of reformation and pumpkins

We who were once warty pumpkins sitting in the mud have been picked by our Father.
He humbled himself to come into our sin-stained world. He still humbles Himself to clean us, to enter our filth and to get dirty with our slimy pumpkin guts.

We are His workmanship.

Because of His great work in us, we will shine with the new love that He gives us.

Behold!  See what Jesus has done!
