He also says,
“In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment. (Hebrews 1:10, 11 NIV84)
I'm sure you can all relate.
My favorite shorts are worn out.
Have you ever had a favorite piece of clothing? I have fond memories of a "Camp Adventure" shirt I got when I was in junior high. I loved that shirt. It's long gone. I have a favorite Yankee sweatshirt. Steph doesn't want me to wear it. It's faded and in threads, but still VERY comfortable. Now, my favorite pair of shorts have holes where you just can't have holes. Now the weather is getting really hot and I have to break in another FAVORITE pair of shorts. ! I have a great wardrobe with numerous pairs of shorts, they just don't feel the same as my favorite shorts. I have to get over it.
My 3 daughters are VERY happy my clothes wear out. They say my wardrobe is from the 70s. I have never caught on to the idea of changing clothing styles. Why do we need to change styles when we get something we like? Give me a pair of dockers and a Golf shirt, I am comfortable and HAPPY!
I hope you don't think I'm not disrespectful when I say God is like my favorite pair of shorts, with ONE exception. God never wears out. The older and older I get, the more comfortable the fit. I am growing more comfortable as I get to know God. I not only get used to him, I long to be with him. He fits.
Thank You Lord for being patient with me. Thank You for not getting tired of me. Thank you for not wearing out from my sin, my selfishness, and how I ignore you. You are awesome and the life you have given me is the true definition of amazing grace.
