Marriage
I was thinking this morning of an old pair of jeans I owned a long time ago.
They were faded to a lovely shade of blue, and so soft that they fit me just so.
New fabric just doesn't look like that, it's too crisp, the colors too bright, there hasn't been enough time gone by to make it feel just right.
It has to be washed countless times, tugged and pulled and torn, for only when its been through all that, will it look perfect when its worn.
It made me think of my heart like that, it used to be stiff and cold with fright, and it took Jesus to take my heart-fabric in hand, and create of it a beautiful sight.
He washed my heart clean of all that was wrong, like it had been done a thousand times, fading the bright glaring sin away till it was soft and had a gentle glowing shine.
This was the heart transformed by His grace, full of love and all that is true, Jesus made me brand new, even though a bit faded and soft, He made me just right for you.
For Jesus had seen deep into my heart, and He knew just what to do, once He made me just as He wished, He then made my dream come true.
He brought into my life the perfect one, who would care and surround me with love, the one who would complete the other half of me, a wondrous gift sent from above.
And now we journey on together, our fabrics woven into one, washed with tears of joy, faded with the brightness of bliss, the fabric becomes more beautiful as each day is done.
I thank God every day for taking the time to transform my heart, and making me new, but most of all for bringing to me the joy of my life that is you!
