Doesn't it feel good to fix something that once was broken? I was looking on craigslist about a week ago at the free category to see what there was. I found a free TV that just stopped working. Lizzy and I drove the few miles to pick it up. The first thing I did when I got home was open it up and take a look inside. There wasn't power to the TV so I figured that should be the first place I look.
Indeed, there was a fuse that appeared to be blown. I went to our Christmas lights outside and took the extra fuse from there and placed it in the TV. Guess what? The TV turned on and worked great for a day or so. I was surprised when the TV worked so I wasn't surprised when it stopped working. I looked up the original fuse on google and found that it was a 4 amp 250 volt slow blow fuse. Talk about confusing.
I entered this information on ebay found fuses for sale and purchased them. They arrived yesterday and I wasted not time. I put the new fuse in the TV and it works again. The fuse happens to be bigger in size than the orignal one but seems to work.
The TV was once unwanted put up on a site to get rid of. Sometimes that is how we are, we are what others consider trash. We have sinned, we have failed, the world sees us imperfect, useless. However, God comes along to pick us up and make us new. This isn't to say that I am God by any means. This is simply an analogy for how God looks at us.
He views us by what is on the inside, not what is on the outside. The world judges by outer appearnces while God looks to the heart.
