Steel, a very strong component. Depending on how hot it got compressed, it verifies it’s strength. It can be molded in different sizes and shapes. It may last longer due to it’s strength, though overtime it will start to rust… Holes could be patched up, but it will still remain a weak spot/link. It’s like that with our sins. We might confess them before God, and it will be forgiven through Jesus if you ask for forgiveness in His name. Though: it will remain a ‘weak spot’. Something to pay close attention to, something to keep working on.

When a rusting spot is not fixed or is being neglected; it will grow bigger and become a hole.  A hole that provides leaks. It could bring in more water or more sin, comparing it to the weak spot/link.

We constantly have to check our our soul for weak spots, or any signs of rust. We need Jesus… We need Him to help us ‘patch it up’. It’s not a one time event, where He will automatically come do it for you… No, you need to call unto your Savior in Heaven.

Is your heart made out of steel? Hard as anything? No way of getting into, tested by fire? Are we not all born with emotions? Or are we hiding them in a tight sealed box… that box, never exposed to severe circumstances? I think we all did/have in some sort of way. Then there are signs of ‘rust and weak spots’. They might be invisible by the eye, though a welding spot may have come loose, or a chain-link got weak by the power it’s bin enduring in a pull with a certain situation.

God with all His power, can have situations by man’s own free choice, have a strong structure of steel go into a miss-formed piece of junk. This is done through our sin, fueled by the devil. When whirlwind storms miss-form our sin-filled hearts, it needs a lot of new welds, new pieces of steel and most necessary; time… time in a sense of a healing process. You might say, why is God letting it all happen?! This earth is fallen, fallen because of sin; out of free-choice, a wrong decision. Isn’t that why things get out of hand all the time? Not thinking clear, self-focused, and forgetting Who’s in charge?

Our Creator, who made every single detail in our body, gave us free-choice. Will you pick the building (of your life) that never needs attention and slowly looses it’s strength through impacts of life? Or the building (of your life) that get’s the attention of a Person Who fills the cracks, unfolds the bends and keeps you standing strong? Are we as Christian’s strong? Our ‘earthly buildings’ (hearts) may not look the prettiest, but are being kept together by 4 necessary nails. Those that were pierced through Jesus Christ’s body… With His love in any storm or situation, can overcome! But only if you’ll let Him…

Or are we like this piece of steel, left in the woods, beaten by circumstance(s), unattended, forgotten… God does not forget one person, He’s looking for you! He knows us all, He knows you by name, He knows the number of hairs on your head, He knows our secrets, He knows our joy’s.

‘The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?’ (Psalm 27:1)
