The life of a shell

Shells were once alive with marine specimens inhabited these shells each with their unique challenges yet beautiful and bright coloured in the watery habitat. Now empty they leave behind on the bottom of the ocean. Without goodness of god in us we can be like these shells on the bottom of the ocean without life, without brightness of his spirit.
