Old and Rusty but Not Useless

While going through some boxes in my garage, I found these two rusty iron locks.  I started to throw  them away. After all, they were both frozen, one permanently open, the other permanently shut.  Even if I could budge them, I didn't  have the keys.  Useless, I muttered, and  in the trash they went.  A thought brought me back.  What if God discarded us when we got old and rusted.  When our joints quit working properly, He could just put us in that trash pile, but God doesn't work that way.  When others think we are useless, God knows we are beautiful works of art. I retrieved  those rusty locks from the garbage to bring enjoyment to another day!
