God Power Washes Us!
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do."
Ephesians 2: 10
Dennis Bonifan attempted suicide last year, but he’s gotten help
and is doing better. He’s also found a cause. When Dennis saw a
Facebook post about swastikas spray-painted on a nearby street,
he grabbed his power washer and obliterated the hate graffiti free
of charge. He then continued
donating his spare time clearing the
streets of unwanted graffiti, telling a
reporter, “It’s very rewarding
to be able to do something and then put a smile on my face…it
actually helps my mood a lot.”
We all face challenges of many kinds. Sometimes they’re
emotional challenges, for our toughest battles often involve
our feelings and reactions. Finding the meaningful purpose
can put a smile on our faces and then help our moods. That
is especially true as we know God is leading us to
engage
in good works He planned in advance for us to do.
He power-washes our souls with His blood, then uses
us to help others. Challenges needn’t defeat us. They
can strengthen us and lead us to helping others.
"Our lives have purpose and meaning. God has a path for
us to follow, a path that He marked out ahead of time. He
already knows the way through every difficulty we will face."
Larry Richards
