Handicapped parking space
By joyismine
We expose our inner person by the action that we do; which actions speak to all the world of the deep down basic you! We are afraid that others will observe our life and feel that we are in the making, still, on the potter's wheel. We like to portray the vessel as finished, fired and whole; completed in one simple step of faith so sure and bold. But we confess by our behavior what we sought to hide by the generous coat of whitewash applied to our life in pride. When we let our guard down, and show through the coat of paint our life speaks more of "sinner" and quite a bit less of "saint". God's plan revealed in scripture shows he molds us o'er and o'er through a lifelong process, 'til we reach that golden shore. When we cover our humanity in our struggle to follow our Lord we place a stumbling block before those newborns feeding on the Word. They see our life presented as the best of the human race but they see us by our actions parked in the handicapped parking-space. Joyce GuyIs it safe to be transparent?
