God remains faithful even when we are faithless.
How beautiful is our God!
I was thinking about how God takes us, accepts us for who we are, and through Him, he gives us the ability to become so much more. We become people through him that we could never fathom being on our own.
He gives us beauty for ashes:
Beauty in a broken heart
Beauty in pain
There is beauty through the storms of life that send nothing but the rain
Beauty in selfishness
Beauty in fear
There is beauty in feeling alone when no one is near
Beauty in our failures
Beauty in lust
There is beauty in losing our best friend's trust
Sometimes the beauty is knowing that we're stripped of everything we know.
Beauty in feeling these things
Beauty in feeling so low
Beauty in the valleys that lead us to the peaks
Beauty in the strength of God to help me when I'm weak
Beauty that my Daddy loves me for me, not who I was
Beauty that my heart is now filled with his love
He gives us beauty for ashes.
There is beauty in that.
Beauty for ashes,
How could i ever go back?
As I was writing this, I couldn't help but to think how my life would be like without God.
Ashes. The remains of something destroyed.
Yet, I am made new, and made beautiful.
It is so beautiful how my Maker can take all of the things that I have done, and somehow use them for his good. For beauty.
I am forever thankful.
Followers, thank you so much for keeping up with my blogs, and supporting me, financially, and through prayers. I have about a month left in the country before I leave, and the Lord has continued to remain faithful (as always). He has given me over $13,000, and I need a total of $15,500. What a blessing!
I am so thankful for each of you. I hope that you continue to follow me as I embark on this journey that the Lord has laid out in front of me.
Be blessed. Be a blessing.
