Being a Christian is Like Being a Pumpkin

I was going through some of my stuff recently and came across this little message that I like. I remember getting it from my mission president's wife while I was on my mission. It reads:

"A lady recently being baptized was asked by a co-worker what it was like to be a Christian. She replied, "It's like being a pumpkin: God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins.Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
