Jesus...... Leather of my soul

When I first heard my son J.T. singing the song Jesus lover of my soul I had to ask him....what are you singing? Mom ...the song Jesus "leather" of my soul. We all had a laugh over that one, but the more I have thought about it I picture my heart's made of leather. At first it's tough not easy to mold like the leather of a saddle, but as we begin to spend more time reading God's word, praying, and worshiping, He slowly breaks down the fibers and my heart and begins to soften it into a pliable easy to mold into His image. Now every time I hear that song I always get a little smile and I am reminded that we are constantly being stretched and pulled on by the Lord. I know it can be painful, but in the end I know it is all to bring glory to Him.
