That describes a piece of clothing that my mother gave me years ago. something that can no loner be worn, but for some reason I just cant let go of it. I tried to do so today, I actually told my self that I was being silly, and that I no longer needed the actual item, to remember the memories associated with it. I quickly tossed it in the trash, and after starting at the trash can for a full min. I reached back in side and took it back out, gently folding it and placing it back in the bottom of my drawer. It isn't the prettiest thing anymore, but when it was first given to me, it was beautiful, and I was so excited. now it is tired, worn out, and not looking all that great. It has stains on it, and is a little faded, and yet I still love it.
Does feel like your heart is like an old piece of clothing...something that is tired, and worn out. it may not be as pretty as when you first gave it to God, in fact it may be stained. Have the cares and toils of this world have made your heart heavy? Are the stains of sin turning your heart an ugly black? do you feel like God has just tossed your heart out with the trash?
I know our hearts are nothing like clothes...but just like I lovingly took out the item my mom bought me, God is the same way. He looks at our broken heart, and all he sees is how beautiful it is. He sees how worn it is and still tucks it under His arm. He LOVES it. It doesn't matter how ugly and stained, or broken and tired it is, He will never get rid of it. He will never give up on what you could be. His love is never ending and all encompassing.
Bring Him your worn out, thread-bear heart...and let Him restore it in into something beautiful again.
