Most of the time there is damage behind the panels that could not be seen\u00a0but in order to repair the vehicle and make all the new parts fit, the hidden damage has to be repaired. \u00a0The same is true with us, we all come into God&#8217;s shop damaged and most of\u00a0the time there is hidden damage that no one else can see. \u00a0Part of the sanctification process is to repair all of the damage, including the hidden damage in order to get to Christ like condition. \u00a0It is not a &#8220;fun&#8221; process. \u00a0The Bible talks about being refined through fire, crucify the flesh daily, those are not &#8220;sexy&#8221; and attractive descriptions . \u00a0The Bible also says narrow is the gate\u00a0to heaven and wide is the gate that leads to destruction. \u00a0Many will enter the wide gate, it&#8217;s a much easier path. \u00a0Are you willing to fight the battle and \u00a0be on the narrow road? The amazing part about it is we don&#8217;t have to rely on our strength for this battle, we are made strong through Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our business the term &#8220;pre-accident condition&#8221; is used quite often. \u00a0Our job is to take a vehicle that is damaged and repair it to pre-accident condition. \u00a0When a vehicle comes in one of our shops for repair,\u00a0the first thing &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/?p=23\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions\/24"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorttimer.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
