beautiful things

Beautiful Things - Gungor


All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new



Suffering, pain, hurt, tears... all of this is part of life in this broken world.  Jesus in John 16 gives us hope... He tells us to "Take Heart for I have overcome the world!!"  Lord Jesus come.  I'm tired of feeling the pain, the suffering, the hurt, the tears of this broken fall world... O to be with you... I long to be with you!  You are my hope... You make beautiful things... out of dust... out of us... as this spring season arrives and life is showing itself... i hope in the only thing that gives life... out of chaos life is being found in You!!  

Woe to those who call evil good 
    and good evil, 
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness, 
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.
 - Isaiah 5:20-

this was in my devotion this morning... my heart is heavy with this being the reality of life... our life... my life... Lord bring healing, freedom, joy, laughter, hope, love... may we draw near to you... make me new!!!

beauty found in my everyday life... reminders that hope is rising from the ground...
