Be careful not to size up a man or woman of God based solely on where they've been, or what they've accomplished in life thus far. We can be discouraged by what we see and limited in our perspective, completely missing the amazing transformation that is taking place on the inside. I believe God works first in our hearts. If we will allow... He will cleanse us, purify us, and fortify us from the inside out! Preparing us for what He has in mind! So be encouraged! What may appear to be broken shards of glass to you and I may actually be a beautiful mosaic masterpiece in the works! Or what looks like a barren waste of a field.. could be an amazing harvest coming soon...with seeds germinating just beneath the soil! I wonder what Peter's "religious" buddies thought about Peter before Jesus "built His church upon him!" He wasn't exactly the shining example of "holiness displayed!" Yet, there was a work being done that no one could see, except Jesus! Peter was prepared for the moment when Jesus said... "Follow me! I will make you a fisher of men!" Matthew 4:19 Thanks for letting me share, Randy Young
