DIY
I live in
one of those communities where DIY (Do it yourself) was common long before it
was in style. Perhaps it is a function
of being near the end of the line on a small island that is hard to
service.
It appears
to me that DIY has become cool. Whether
it be Holmes on Homes in which Mike
Holmes often pokes fun at DIYers or the growing movement in homes all over to
make it yourself, cook it yourself, grow it yourself, raise it yourself and
then write about it.
Yet there is
one thing that is not on the “I’ll do it myself list”. There is one thing that cannot be DIY. It is salvation. We cannot save ourselves. I bristle at those harsh words that were
thrown at my Savior on the cross by one of those who reviled Him. “He saved others, let Him save Himself.” He was not there to “do it for Himself”. He was there to do it for me. I cannot save myself but I am grateful to the
King of Heaven, the Lord of the Universe, the Word became flesh, Jesus Christ
who did it for me.
