In this world, there are so many things that are disposable. When we are finished with something, we just throw it away. Most people don’t even think another thing about it. Anything from paper cups to razors are disposable. But what about animals or even people? I know in my own life, I have felt disposable on many occasions. I am not perfect, in many ways I am broken. Have you noticed that the majority of people in our world don’t like broken things or even broken people? They will talk about them in mean and ugly ways or even toss them aside as if they were garbage. We have broken relationships, whether it is a marriage or just with our children. We have people that have disabilities, or just from different places. Nobody is the same, everyone is different, we all come from different backgrounds. There is not one person on this earth that is perfect. The only one that is perfect is Jesus Christ and I am so thankful that even though He is perfect, He loves imperfect people. We should take the time and start to look at life’s imperfections. We should build people up instead of tearing them down or throwing them away just because they are not perfect. Also stop tearing yourself down because you are not perfect. You are wanted, and if you are around someone that doesn’t see it, then they are the ones with imperfect vision and can’t see you for who you really are. You are God’s child, and He loves you no matter what. You are in His hands, so put a smile on your face, straighten yourself up, and just start to thank Jesus for all He has done for you. You are wanted even in this throw-away world.
John 10:27-30
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 [d]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are [e]one.”
