A Makeover?

“This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit,

and trembles at my word.” Isaiah 66:2b

These days you can find a reality show on television for nearly every circumstance.  I enjoy watching “Extreme Makeover Home Addition.”  The family whose home is chosen for a makeover always has a sad story.  Then, at the end when they reveal the newly made over house, I boo-hoo right along with the TV family.  It’s pathetic, I know.  But, I still enjoy watching it.

I have joked about submitting our home for a makeover.   I could desperately use some new floor coverings throughout my home.  I recently found out that if you go on their website, they give instructions on how you can apply to have your home made over.  Even though I would like some updated things in my home, I know I will never submit my request to them.

There are many times, however, when I need a makeover, and I do submit my request.  This one is a makeover from the inside out.  The main difference between this request and the Extreme Makeover Home Edition request is that on the TV show, only a few people can be picked.  That’s not true with God.  He chooses to makeover anyone who asks.  He is right there with His unlimited resources ready to begin our spiritual makeover. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”  What an honor it is to have the precious Son of God do our makeover!

He wants to do a makeover in every area of our life.  He will renew our joy, our peace, and give us more kindness than we’ve ever known before.  He is alive and accessible for us today; all we have to do is call upon His Name.

 

Allowing Him to live through us is the most extreme makeover we will ever need.  Have you submitted a makeover request lately?  Let Him pick you!
