Praise God

Last night I attempted to paint my nails in the dark. Why you may ask? I just didn't want to get up and turn on the lights. Lazy, yes I know. And its weird to think that I can relate painting my nails to something God has shown me. Or at least showed me last night. We know our hands, the curves, the creases and we know the shape and feel of our nails. But when there is no light to guide the nail polish brush, you grab to much finger nail polish and you mess up. You paint outside the lines and you cant get it off. Its stuck until you put forth a lot of effort to remove it. This is like our lives and world. Or at least I see it. Our world has edges, curves, guidelines if you will. And God has edges, curves, and guidelines to reach his Kingdom and live for Him. And when you grab too much paint, being way to ambitious without Gods light, you are bound to mess up. To paint the outside edges that ruin the look of your life; or your nails. That is sin. That is why God has died. For us. He died for our sins. And all he asks of us is to love Him, obey Him and know that He knows best. So next time, when I can feel sin approaching me, or my nails, I will know that Gods light and love and gentleness is always there. Praise God.
