Hebrews 3:4 "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God."
I spend a lot of time watching home makeover shows on HGTV. I really like to see the process of renovation and the final results. My husband does not agree with me and thinks they are as boring as watching paint dry (no pun intended). I think I, like many people who love these shows, live vicariously though the idea of what can be. The hosts and crews tear everything down and then build it back up. All the old ugliness and rot is repaired and made like new. It takes some time, but the "after" makeover scenes of the homes are usually beautifully perfect. They are enviable.
I am like these homes that get renovated, because I am for sure a fixer upper. I am always under construction. Different "rooms" of my body, mind, and soul are under constant renovation. The world and my selfishness take a toll. I, thankfully, have the Master Carpenter doing the work on me. Jesus takes the ugly areas of my life, or the ones in need of repair, and He rebuilds them from the ground up. I am a project that will never be perfect until I see Him face to face. Until then, I will yield to the vision of the Master Builder, who rebuilds all of my brokenness.

I think our humanness is filled with brokenness that most will not admit. You are humble and honest and you do God's work so devotedly. We are all fixer uppers since we were not born like Jesus or our Blessed Mother in absolute grace. Those programs are transformative and hopeful. You are as well. You are constantly working on who you are and that pleases our Father immensely.
