A man was walking down the road one day, and something caught his eye. He bent down and picked it up...what could it be? He knew it was a coin but due to all the dirt and grime, he couldn't tell anything more. He held it in the palm of his hand and walked on his way.
When he got home he took the coin and began to rub it and clean it. Once all the dirt was gone, he could now see that it was a quarter. After careful examination, he began to smile and joy filled his heart. He was so proud that he carefully put the quarter on his shelf and admired it.
It's just a quarter.......what's the big deal?? Well you see, years before, this man worked at the U.S. mint. He was very knowledgeable about coins. As he cleaned the coin, he saw the date. He soon realized that this very coin was one of the coins that he had made when he first started working there. What is worth only 25 cents to anyone else....is priceless to him. He made this coin and sent it out into the world....and years later, he had found it again!
Now, let's put it into a spiritual sense.........God made each and everyone of us, and then, being the gentleman He is, sent us into the world. We entered this world and got all the dirt and grime of this world all over us. Many walk by and see us as nothing.....no value to anyone. But one glorious day....God came by our way, reached down....way down......picked us up out of the miry clay of this world, put us in the palm of His hand, cleaned us up.....and now looks at us with love and pride. What once was lost, now is found! We are priceless to our Lord and Savior!!
