As I walked around, I saw some piles of scrap metal that I could barely identify as something that used to be a "whole" car.  ... 

...and I thought, "ok, well, THAT IS actually too far gone".  Like, really, some things that I saw there were actually not worth the hassle, not worth the investment, not REALLY restorable.

THAT is exactly where this "junkyard" analogy breaks down.  Because God is so different that the human restorer.  

In God's eyes, and with His power, no one is too far gone.  We are all worth the investment.  We are all lovable.  Nothing is impossible.  In God's eyes and with His power, we are ALL restorable.  The restoring process may be hard, but the other side offers so much HOPE!
