He slashed paint in broad stripes across the canvas. Our mouths dropped! How could the artist re-create that street scene working like this? Enthralled we watched him gradually work into fine detail. Just over an hour later, his picture was alive and credible. Yes we saw the street scene but it was picked out so originally, so vibrantly that we were all amazed. It was a real make-over.
You may be a fan of the house-make-over programmes on TV. Do we envy the family? I think I’d wonder where they’d put my clutter if this was done for me!

We might have been treated to a personal make-over...new clothes, hairstyle etc (I’m speaking to the ladies here)..but what about my  personality, including the parts of me , truth to tell, I  don’t actually like ?  Who can make ME over? Who can make ME a better person?

Well, there was one historical figure in the personal transformation business. That was Jesus Christ. Christians believe he is God’s Son and alive today.

If we allow him to invade our lives there will be a make-over! If we just give up trying and let him change us from within there will be a transformation!  Knowing Jesus as a friend will mean we are more caring, more loving, and much more satisfied with life l He can start with a blank canvas or one that is a right mess. Just like my acrylic artist, his brush strokes can bring everything into a new focus.
