NEW CREATURES

When your fingernails grow past a certain point, they can become quite brittle. If your hair grows too long, it becomes stringy. If you let your weight go beyond a certain point, it can be dangerous for your health. Nails need to be trimmed; hair needs to be cut, and weight needs to be kept under control. These are guidelines that God makes available to us.
When we don't take advantage of them or use them, we become scraggly creatures, with frayed thoughts! Our emotions become brittle with those we are around, and we can become weak in stand for the Lord.
If we let God file us down; cut us back, and trim down some of the negative growth, then we might be surprised at the new growth that takes place, and see how much more becoming it is!
After all, we are new creatures in Christ, so who wants an old hair do anyway?
