-An old gray cloth-

A dull gray piece of fabric would sit quietly on the shelf each day,desperately longing for someone to notice him.From his place on the on the dusty shelf.he had a bird's eye view of all BEAUTIFUL fabrics that held so much more potential.He admired the fabrics of vibrant orange and pink polka dots that one day would be transformer into frilly toddler dresses;an elegant stripes that would make dine draperies for beautiful homes.
But he,himself is just A DULL,BORING,OLD piece of gray fabric.Nothing special.Nothing elegant.Nothing valuable.Certainly nothing worthy of being transformed into anything new and wonderful.
One day,an elderly woman wandered into the store.The gray piece of fabric could tell she was a seamstress by the wrinkled measure around her neck and the rusty thimble on her finger.
As she wandered around,she seemed to be finding for something special.Suddenly she saw something.
The gray piece of cloth dared to think that maybe,just maybe,she would see potential in him.
As woman drew closer,his heart began to race.She gently picked him up and headed towards cash register.When she got home,she diligently set about her task.Gradually she transformed the piece of old gray fabric into an adorable new sock ,to be loved and cherished by her grandchildren.He MADE A DIFFERENCE in the hearts of children.
Although he felt worthless sometimes,she looked beyond what he was, beyond his old life as a scrap of fabric.She saw him as something new,and helped him to discover his value and hidden potential.He felt like a scrap of left-over material,no one see anything about him but the woman see something in him-potential that no one sees.
I am feeling that way and I prayed to Lord telling and pouring my heart.But HE always see values and hidden potential in me.He wants me to see it too.I learnt to trust him with all my heart because he had greater plans for me.
Jeremiah 29:11, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (NIV)
''Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free
Here at Your feet, I lay this day down
Not in my strength, but in Yours I’ve found
All I need, You’re all I need
Here at Your feet, I lay my future down
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace
Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You
For You my King, You
’re all I want now
And my soul sings…''
And my soul sings…''
