Week Four
   Well, how did you do? Remember, yesterday wasn't a test, it was just a tool, a way to identify both our strengths and our weaknesses.
  Last night in Vacation Bible School the Kindergarten class tackled Frank the inflatable kangaroo. They did a great job, and the only injury was to Frank, he sustained a small hole, just big enough to allow the air to leak out of him. It was impossible to find the hole without re-inflating him. This morning when the church was quiet we aired Frank up again and listened until we heard the hissing of escaping air. The hissing led us to the small hole tom in his leg. Within a few minutes Frank was fixed as good as new and ready for service again.
  That's what it takes to find my spiritual leaks—a quiet place, the time to allow God to refill me, and the patience to listen for the hissing of escaping Christ4ikeness. When I discover the hole I ask God to repair me. God doesn't just put a patch on me, He makes me just like brand new. He fills me anew with His Holy Spirit. He restores my desire to pray, to study His Word, to fellowship with    Believers, and to serve Him.
  Use the Personal Spiritual Inventory tool to help you be "Transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2) I think that you will agree with Frank-the procedure of healing was easy, painless and quick, and the ability to do what you are created for means everything in the world (and beyond).
