It's Like Being A Pumpkin

A lady had recently invited Jesus into her heart and asked Him to be her Lord and Savior. 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. When she looked up, she saw a jack-o-lantern on the desk and answered, "It's like being a pumpkin." The co-worker asked her to explain that one. "Well, God picks you from the patch, brings you in and washes away all the dirt on the outside that you've gotten from being around all the other pumpkins. Then He cuts off the top and takes all the yucky stuff out from the 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's our choice to either stay outside and rot on the vine or come inside and be made into something new and bright."
