God saw me at the lost and found.

 

God saw me at the lost and found. I was there for a long time, someone had left me there. I was a bit worn and torn so no one wanted me... On that day He sent a man called Jesus. I was just sitting on the shelf thinking; "He's probably here for that shiny red coat" but this man, Jesus, pulled out a ticket... And on the ticket was a name... It was my name! It said "Maritza" handwritten by God himself with gold that could only have come from heaven.

 

I was so excited! He had me dry cleaned, a few stitches and some fancy new buttons. He said no changes will be made to the original design cause I'm a "one of a kind" "hand made" I couldn't believe it!  He said to leave the stitching its part of my charm.

 

 

When He was all done He took a step back and said; "Look, I make all things new" and He did! I never looked better.

He said; "Look around" I saw billions of item, collected and restored! All like me! All from the lost and found. They all had tickets. God looked at me and gave me a stack of tickets. "What's this God?" He said; "take these tickets and go to every lost and found that you can find in all the earth. Bring what is lost back to Me, they are all Mine." "Walk in the steps of My Son, my Beloved Jesus." And I went.
