There is an old saying that states: “God doesn’t make junk!”
I love the sentiment of these words. It reminds me that when
we begin our lives anew with Christ that he takes the broken, discarded pieces
of our lives and he makes something amazing out of them. Others may look at us and
think that we look unattractive or even a pile of ‘junk’ but that is not the
way that God sees us.
“… that even though
we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from
the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised
us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly
realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.” – Ephesians 2:5-6
There are numerous artists who take scrap metal and make
something incredible out of it – look at the picture attached. In a spiritual
sense that is what God does for us. We were all bent out of SHAPE by the sin in
our lives – and maybe we were consider
worthless, but through God’s LOVE and GRACE, he made something awesome out of
our mess.
Prayer: Thank you Lord that in your eyes I am not a piece of
junk, but rather a beautiful human being, filled with enormous potential and
with a unique to make.
Living in Grace
