Have you ever read the story of the Velveteen Rabbit?
It's a children's story about a little boy who had a stuffed rabbit. He loved the rabbit so much that it became tattered, worn and shabby but in the process it became REAL
The poor little rabbit was missing it's eyes and it's stuffing was falling out
but because it was loved so much, those things didn't matter
You see, once love makes you real you can't be ugly, except
to people who don't understand
There are those who believe if it's broke or old
it's useless and has no value
But we "junkers" know that's simply not true
When we find those things that have been loved to pieces
we take those well worn pieces and create something else to LOVE!
that's exactly what I did this week
I took an old frame, some old architectural pieces
and created something I LOVE
a beautiful new creation
And that's what God does with us
He looks at the pieces of our lives
the good, the bad, the ugly
and loves us anyway!!
You are not junk, you are God’s treasure.
God does not make junk nor does He make mistakes.
You are so valuable to God that He sent His only begotten Son,
Jesus Christ, to redeem you.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Every Little Birdie says
Amen
