God does not make junk

Greetings:
This morning let us be reminded that we are all sinners who have fallen short of God's desires. Let this be a time of thanksgiving for God's mercy, grace, and love for each of us.
I am sometimes overwhelmed as read in Romans 3:23-24 and realize that by His mercy and the shed blood of Jesus, we are miraculously forgiven, redeemed and made right in the sight of God through His grace. We don't deserve any of this, but God, our Father, has given us a path to eternal life.
It is a free choice we have whether to follow God or not.
We are given a chance, a generous opportunity to be a Christian. The daily walk is a continuous renewal in our minds as we strive to be Christ-like in our thoughts and actions.
Some days we do better in this than others.
One area that is important to renew continually is how we see ourselves. We need to see ourselves not through our own eyes or the eyes of the world. Then and only then will we see ourselves God truly sees us. To do that we need to dive in and study God's Word and know what the scripture says.
God's Word states that we are redeemed. I choose to believe it.
The future is bright and there will be new challenges, new adventures in the way we can serve God. Each of us are individuals and the way we are to serve God will be different.
We need to continue to pray that our minds are renewed. Our prayer should be that we no longer see things as the world sees them. We need to see new possibilities. We need to remain humble, be on guard to plots and ploys of the enemy and remain open to view things through the lens of holy scripture. 
God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us.  Find yours. Remember, God does not make junk. We were each created with a purpose. We were not a mistake or an accident.
Be blessed.
