In my imagination I was in a large gathering of souls to present our past lives before the LORD. We all had little bundles of square cards, and those cards formed a tapestry to represent the main events of our past life. Then a large group of angels came in and took all those cards and began to make a huge display to hang on the wall for all to see. I was ashamed when I saw my cards among the others. They looked dingy and some holes appeared in some of them. They showed all the challenges and hard ships I had endured and I became disheartened. It seemed to me that my angel was showing too much that had happened in my past. It finally came time for each to stand and try to justify those events of our past life. I looked at those holes in my dingy cards and my gaze dropped down. I could not show earthly fortunes like many others, but I did feel great and even rejoiced when the acts of love appeared that I had shown others. I sincerely hoped others would notice that, but it was my life and I had to accept it like GOD and others would see. But I was stunned when I saw the others staring at me with widened eyes and pointing to those holes that I was so ashamed of. I saw the light flooding those ugly holes and was showing a brightened image of CHRIST and a voice was heard that said, every time you stepped aside and let ME shine through until there was more of ME than there was you; you are seeing what I did. So I will now say every time you feel your life is dingy with holes; be quick to let CHRIST shine through.

GOD determines who walks into your life: but you will determine who stays and who will have to walk away. Please realize if your life seems dingy and has some unwanted holes, IT JUST BECOMES WHAT CHRIST NEEDS TO SHINE THROUGH.
