Day 68: Rescued from the Scrap Heap

I have no doubt where I was when the Lord found me. I was there on the scrap heap and in His wonderful grace and mercy He reached down and took that unpromising piece of material that was me in my lost and unregenerate state and said, “I’m going to make a masterpiece out of you.” And that’s true not merely for me. In fact, I’m nothing special, and yet in a sense I am something special because everybody who comes to God through Jesus Christ is something special. All God’s children are special in His sight. If we’re ever going to become what God wants us to be, it has to begin with a creative act of God. We have to let God recreate us out of what we were into what He wants us to be.
