Today is garbage day. Trucks from several garbage companies descend
upon our neighborhood. It's the day I get rid of all the stuff I threw away
through the past week. Some things are broken, defective and worn out. Some things were packaging and so their
purpose is over. Some things have
corrupted and spoiled. Some things I simply never used or read and so I threw
them away. I watch with relief as the
driver arrives and empties the can. All
that worthless stuff is gone!
Face it. We all find certain people worthless. We all have prejudices and look down on some
people. We would remove them from our
lives - we would cast them away. I am so happy that God is not like that. Jesus will not turn away anyone that comes to
Him for salvation even if people consider them the garbage of the world.
Some days I feel like refuse, at
least my Parkinson's makes me feel that way. I feel broken, defective and worn
out. At times, I feel as if my purpose
in life is over. Other times, sin spoils and corrupts my attitude and
relationship with Jesus. The good news is that Jesus does not throw me away
because of these things. God worked in
my heart and brought me to Jesus. I hope you will trust in Jesus today, too.
"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do
mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will
which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that
sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:37-40.
