Life In a House

My life without knowing or seeing I was building a house on top of a sinkhole that could release any day The walls where made of straw this allowed bugs to eat away where moisture would enter creating mold to cause sickness My house would shake like there was an earthquake when the storms would come The roof was falling in about to cause disaster The windows I had created had blinds over them therefore could not see outside It finally came to me that I better do something about this what I was trying to do alone was not working I knew to make this work I was gonna have to tear down and rebuild To have help from one to show and lead This is when I called upon Jesus and pleaded for Him to knock I answered and Life has not been the same since Jesus will place you on a solid foundation and throw those blinds on the windows out so you shall see the light surrounding We have to have Jesus with us We can not do it alone For He shall guide and build you a home And teach the beauty of the inside is where we shall start To change the stone to one with a pure heart

Yes we have to build our faith on a strong foundation or it will not withstand the storms that come. Like the analogy you created. God Bless phyl
