This month we are working with the women here in the rehab program. We have the opportunity to walk a long side them and build relationship through bible studies and work projects. The Lord put this on my heart for these women that are quickly becoming so precious to me.

The stories of these women are stories of redemption. They are like roses among the rubble. God’s glory is so fragrant in their lives. I wish they could see how beautiful they are. That they are perfectly made by Him. Planted by Him, watered by Him, and lovingly handpicked by Him. He tends to them daily, with tender hands. Even in the rubble of their lives, among the dirt, the filth and shame. Even when they don’t feel their worth or feel too far from love, they are made whole by Him. He see them as perfect blossoms, awaking from the inside. His handy work. His unique creation. His lovely ones. He passionately pursues them and seeks their whole heart. He longs to sweep them off their feet into an incredible romance.

(a sweet treasure from my birthday) 

Like this rose Lord, shine your light over their hearts.
Show them they are beautiful.
That they are made perfect.
Follow them with Your fragrance of love.
Heal wounds.
Break chains.
Redeem rubble.
