Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
