sand :)

I wrote this over a year ago and just rediscovered it. :)


Sand is so incredible. If you look at it, its granules are so rough and coarse. But if you take it and heat it and let it cool, you make the most beautiful smooth glass.
That's what God wants to do with us, too. Before we know Christ, we are coarse and rough and don't feel beautiful. But then when you are saved by God's grace, He takes you and makes you beautiful - from the inside, which is what counts the most.
The world is a dangerous place. It's like a whirlpool. If you're not careful, it will suck you in. It offers all these seemingly beautiful and wonderful things and tells you lies. The more you have, the more you'll be happy. And, if you look the perfect way you are bound to get the love of your life. But none of those things matter. Somewhere deep inside of you, you'll feel empty and that there's a vast void. There's something missing.
That thing that's actually missing is God. And He's crying out for you. He wants you in His life. He's waiting patiently for you to realize He's there and that He's the only thing you really need in your life. And once you invite Him in, you will feel peace. And He will give you joy and everlasting life. You'll get to spend eternity with Him. He built a mansion just for you. And you will see all your friends and loved ones. It will be the greatest thing imaginable.
Imagine your best day ever. Remember how memorable and fantastic it was, and just wishing it could last forever? That's what heaven's like, only a trillion times better and it will never end. Isn't that incredible to think about?
