My little pumpkins

Being a Christian is a lot like being a Pumpkin



First, God Picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.
....but I have chosen you out of the world John 15:16



Then, He washes all the "dirt" off the outside, cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
...the old has gone, the new has come 2 Corinthians 5:17




Then, He carefully removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc from  inside of us
....For we know our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with  Romans 6:6


and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see!
...let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds...Matthew 5:16




And we will forever be changed
...My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You - I, whom You have redeemed  Psalm 71:23
