Who said that you can't turn an old, beat-up car into something beautiful? In 2014 a Lithuanian man was tired of his old, beat-up Mercedes-Benz CLK and wanted to transform it into something new and exciting. So he refurbished his old car with expandable foam—yes, foam. He started by covering the exterior, and once the foam hardened, he meticulously carved away until the lumpy body resembled a sleek sports car. He did the same to the interior, covering the dashboard with a foamy, bubbly mess. After hours of meticulous sculpting, the addition of shiny rims, and paint job, the rusty-grey junker was transformed into a ruby-red muscle car. If you didn't know the car's back story, you'd probably assume it was the prototype for a new line.

Because of sin, we all are like a beat-up junk car. If we want to be truly beautiful and perform like we were intended, we need a drastic makeover. God is slowly working on each of us to transform our entire being (although it this point we might look like a junker covered with messy foam), and one day he will bring his work to completion (Phil 1:6).
