AN OLD SHOE WILL ALWAYS BE AN OLD SHOE. A USED PAPER PLATE SERVES NO PURPOSE. ONCE A COTTON BALL GETS WET, IT LOOSES ITS FLUFFINESS FOREVER. A BROKEN WINDOW MUST BE REPLACED. EVEN THE BEST ICE CREAM LOOSES ITS APPEAL ONCE IT MELTS. PAPER TOWELS ARE DISPOSABLE. WE ALL KNOW THESE SIMPLE FACTS TO BE TRUE. AS USUAL, MY MIND IS WHIRLING THIS MORNING AND MY THOUGHTS ARE COMING TOGETHER TO A SPECIFIC POINT.
ALL TOO OFTEN, WE, IN REALITY, VIEW OURSELVES AS DISPOSABLE, USED, BROKEN, TORN, REPLACABLE OR GARBAGE. WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE ARE NO GOOD OR THAT WE WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. SOME OF US MIGHT HAVE A HORRIBLE REPUTATION, WHICH MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCOME. THE TRICKS OF THE DEVIL ARE PLENTIFUL AND HE GETS HIS GLORY THROUGH OUR MISERIES. ADDICTIONS, BAD CHOICES AND THE LIFESTYLES WE SOMETIMES CHOOSE TO LIVE BRING US DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.....RIGHT WHERE THE DEVIL WANTS US TO BE.
BUT.................
HERE COMES THE GOOD PART......................
WE WERE ALL CREATED BY A GOD WHO LOVES US TREMENDOUSLY! WE ARE HIS MASTERPIECES (EPHESIANS 2:10), NOT GARBAGE. WE ARE HEIRS TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD (MATTHEW 19:14), NOT MEANT TO BE SLAVES TO SIN. WE WERE CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE!!!! JUST THAT THOUGHT ALONE IS ENOUGH TO BLOW MY MIND! WE ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST (ROMANS 8:17). COUNTLESS ANGELS WATCH OVER US ALL (HEBREWS 12:22). WE WERE MEANT TO WALK IN LIGHT, NOT DARKNESS. CONFIDENCE, NOT FEAR. LOVE NOT HATE!!!
WE ARE ALL THESE THINGS TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.....AND SO MUCH MORE!
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE WAY I FEEL WHEN I CONSIDER THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US ALL. NO SIN IS TOO GREAT AND NO PAST IS TOO HORRIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO HIS FORGIVENESS! WE ARE SUCH A BLESSED PEOPLE! TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD!
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW
