OLD shoes and leather hearts. By Paola Troz.

Wearing comfortable shoes is a must for someone like me. 
Cowboy boots are my favorite choice, cause they make  me feel  comfortable and ready to conquer the world. Sometimes I think that I should have been born in Texas or in a place near horses, but for some reason God decided to set me in a Tropical Country and kind of far away from farms.

I had these amazing pair of cowboy  boots  which I wore all the time and were really old. Still I didnt want to get rid of them. They were so comfortable. So I took them on a trip to Argentina where my brother lives with his family. 

One afternoon we all went to a Mall and I saw an amazing pair of leather boots  that could be perfect to replace my old ones. But when I asked for the price they were too expensive and I couldnt afford them. I said no word about it to anyone and left the Mall with my old boots on.

When we went back home  Cynthia, my sister in law gave me a new awesome pair   that no longer fit her after her pregnancy period.

They were NEW and so cool
and almost the same as the ones I saw at the Mall!
 

  I was amazed , so happy and thankful.

She came and simply gave them to me as a  love present, as if she knew…  

 

God knew.

He always Knows...

and somehow it was kind of like His way to tell me
“ I CAN AFFORD THEM..”

My new leather boots took some time to fit though,  so  I  wore them all the time, almost as my old pair of boots trying to stretch them.

Patience was important during this process. I felt pain too, but after some days they fitted perfectly.

While I was wearing my new uncomfortable pair, an image of a leather hearts came to my mind.

Leather hearts…

Where is difficult for God to fit in…

Some people feel the same as my uncomfortable feet  with new leather boots  when it comes to God in their lives.

Even when leather hearts do too, take time to let God fit in.

There is still hope. 

 

After some time, patience and  maybe some  pain,  they feel like new and with such a comfortable sensation in their soul too.

He makes all things new! Even when they are old.

Isnt it funny?  “New that feels like old!” 

 Great combination when it comes to cowboy boots.

 

New that feels  like new when God restores your soul.

Hearts that feel like home forever when they finally accept the present  of love  from the Heavenly Father Who knows exactly what they want and need.

The One who paid for an eternal gift .
Yeap! A  wonderful gift!
 
A gift than can fit with His amazing grace even in the difficult leather hearts .

A  gift of love  that changed  humanity.

Jesus love and His hope.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

2 Corinthians 5:17
