The Christian and
The Pumpkin
A lady had recently been saved and one of her co-workers asked her what it was like to be a Christian. She was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer, but when she looked up she saw a jack-o-lantern on a nearby desk and answered ...
"It's like being a pumpkin."
Her co-worker asked her to explain that one.
"Well, God picks you from the patch and brings you in and washes off all the dirt on the outside that you got from being around all the other pumpkins.
Then He cuts off the top and takes all the yucky stuff out from inside. He removes all those seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all to see.
It is our choice to either stay outside and rot on the vine or come inside and be something new and bright."
I'll never see a pumpkin the same way again!
