Imagine you have a 5000 gallon container of crystal clear drinking water. Now imagine you want to turn it a deep radiant blue. You have plenty of concentrated blue dye, but you are only allowed to put one drop into the 5000 gallon container every day. After a week, you realize you have forgotten to add dye on two of the days but you know you are not allowed to catch up as only one drop per day is permitted. After a month, you know that the color of the color of the water is, of course changing, but because you see it every single day, the gradual change is unnoticed by you. You may start to become frustrated. Your failure to add a drop of dye every single day has slowed your progress down too and that just kills you sometimes. You may wonder when you will ever get to the point when you have that beautiful radiant blue container of water. We know that over a long period of time, the water will turn a vibrant blue and the goal will be met. It may take years... But if you want it bad enough, you will succeed. So it is with major life changes sometimes. Whether it be weight loss or health improvements or breaking bad habits. Our salvation in Christ is instantaneous eternally, but often our salvation here on this planet is progressive. Do not get discouraged! Keep adding a little bit of change every day!!!
