So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27 NRSV Bible)
Have you ever heard the phrase, "God doesn't make junk?" God can make a castle out of what we think is junk. In fact, God loves making castles out of what we think is junk. If there is anybody reading this today who feels like your life is nothing but junk, you are just the person God is looking for. You can make God's day. Let God turn what you think is junk into something beautiful and majestic.

There is a story of a doctor who tried to place a stethoscope on a little girl's heart, telling her that she wanted to listen to it.

"Oh, no!" the little girl protested. "My heart is in my back."

"Where did you get that idea?" the doctor asked.

"Well, when I do something good, Grandma pats me on the back and says, 'Bless your little heart.'"

Grandmas always seem to give their hearts to their grandchildren. God has given us God's heart through Jesus who turns our junk into a blessing.

Dear God, please continue to turn my junk into something beautiful. Amen.
