I have a pair of blue jeans. Everyone does. I've had it for years now. Its old and rugged, lost its color a bit, and is almost white at knees. But I love wearing it.
We all know that jeans has this almost magical quality of getting better with age(hope we all did!). The more I wear my blue jeans the better it becomes, to the extent that I am more comfortable in it now than I was on the day I bought it.
I am attached to it. It is my comfort wear. In the coming years it might start fraying at the hemlines; but I am still going to love it. Blue jeans is definitely the one old piece of clothing which we don't feel like throwing away or donating.
There is one more thing in my life that has the qualities of a blue jeans. The more I use it, the more it seems to fit me better. The older it gets, the dearer it becomes. Its my Bible.
Okay, may be my bible doesn't have dog-eared pages, but hey, its not brand new either! When I first acquired the current one, it wasn't much fun. As the time progressed, I started loving it, the touch, the feeling of turning those ultra-thin pages and of course the messages within.
Now with the bible also it all depends on the 'blue-jeans-principle'. The Blue Jeans Principle states that:
"The comfort and fitting of the blue jeans is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend in it"
So the 'The Bible Principle' will be somewhat like this:
"The understanding,acceptance and relevance of The Word is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend with it "
So, dear friends, if you are not very comfortable with your bible, if finding the right book in it is almost an impossible task, try "The Bible Principle". It always works!
PS: If anybody knows where to find a jeans cover for my Bible, do let me know. I am looking for one.
