THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER

One of my favorite stories growing up, was "The Steadfast Tin Soldier."
This sturdy toy soldier stood on only one leg, and fell in love with a toy ballerina doll, who was placed in such a position that made her look like she was standing with only one leg too. As their journey would have it, the two toys, were thrown into the fireplace and their love melted away in the flames! Only a heart and a medallion remained when the embers died down!
God created each of us differently from the next person, and some folks find it hard to accept those differences. Remind them, that we were fearfully and wonderfully created by the Creator God of the Universe, and even He likes us just the way we are! Sometimes, He has to take us through the refiners fire to refine us and polish us, and that's not always fun, but it is necessary. We will come through with a refined heart for Christ, and a medallion of love to show the world that Jesus is Lord!
