The co-worker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you inside, and washes all the dirt off you.
Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, lust, envy, etc. You know when you put all your faith and trust in Him that everything will work out all right. You become a new person through Christ.
...And then He carves you a new smiling face, and hooks you up to His Power,
and places His Light and Love inside
you to shine for all the world to see so you can attract others to come to Him."
