Damaged Goods

So I was talking with a good friend whos husband happens to work for my ex. If you know anything about my life lately is has been nothing less than a bad soap opera with lots of drama. An ex who cant move on. So after the most recent "issue" I was talking to my friend today and she said "Im gonna tell you this and I hope it doesnt hurt you" She said when her husband whom I will not name was talking to my ex my ex said "I am over her, she is damaged goods". One may be upset but I felt the opposite which infact may seem weird cause for many years I went through life feeling like I was damaged good, nobody would want me, not worthy of the best, but at this very moment when she told me this I felt sadness not for me but for my ex because it shows his thinking, I find it so sad that someone can feel that there is someone anyone considered dmamged goods. I know better now, because I have drawn close to God I know that I was made for a purpose I am special, beautiful in his eyes. I know that I make mistakes and that I am not perfect but I know that I am not damaged goods. We were all made new again, we were forgiven of our sins, we are precious in his eyes. When someone can go about life and see others as "damaged Goods" my heart breaks because they must not know of Gods unfailing Love, his mercy and his grace. So I sit here with sadness for my ex who spoke these words, I sit here with tears of happiness because in this very moment I have realized I once excepted a label like such and today I am free from feeling that way. We were all made for a purpose we all matter, beautifuly and wonderfully made!
