Come, for free!!

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost." Isaiah 55:1

The last couple days my husband has been gone at a conference so I decided that I would finally dealve into the project of re-doing the bathroom. It had very old wallpaper and so I just peeled a corner to see how easy it would come off, thus beginning the long project of removing wallpaper. I chose some paint, way bolder than I have ever done, picked up a few items to add some additional color and a fresh touch. Bottom line - I remodeled the bathroom for $100. Not bad huh!!!?

I was thinking about this remodel job and Jesus this morning. Don't we always need some remodeling in our own lives? God will never be done shaping us. The promises in the Isaiah passage are so awesome. This relationship that Jesus offers to us is free....FREE - and what that relationship gives to us is freedom - FREEDOM - and a remodel job in our lives.

I was not looking forward to beginning the bathroom project, but when I mustered up the energy to begin I knew that the final project would be awesome and I would be so glad that I worked so hard. Allow God to do this in your own life. Don't just look at the hard work that's involved, but see the light at the end of the tunnel. Know that when you allow him to work out stuff in your life that you will be so glad.

Are you thirsty for more in your life? Do you feel dry and empty? Drink from his waters - just ask him to fill you up, he will.
