How many believe that God can bring beauty out of brokenness? I do because I’ve seen it happen in my very own life! When I took this picture I knew there was a message in it! Just like those delicate flowers bloomed in the midst of dry weeds, God brings life and beauty into places we thought were hopeless! Our lives might feel overrun with “weeds”- whether it be struggles, sin or pain but God’s grace will still manage to allow something beautiful to grow out of it!
This was the case in my life almost 3 years ago and today I am able to share with you how in my “Season” of loss, pain, hardship, loneliness and struggle- God brought hope, joy, love and laughter back into my life!
Isaiah 61:3 “He will give them beauty for ashes…”
I always knew that God had a plan for my life but because I allowed my “Season” to cloud my vision I was unable to see clearly what was up ahead, yet somehow I knew it was good! Things got rough along the way but I kept pressing through and God kept giving me the strength to go forward! These very scriptures became real to me in a time of need!
Proverbs 18:10 NLT
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.
God has always been my strong tower and I knew to run to Him each time!
Romans 8:39 ERV
Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God’s love was poured out on me in such a way that I couldn’t comprehend! It flooded my soul with newness of life!
Ephesians 3:20 AMP
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,
My story is simple yet profound-God is always near to the brokenhearted…Psalm 34:18
God sees it ALL! Nothing bypasses our Loving Father! Have faith and continue to trust God to fulfill His awesome plan for your life. You might only be able to walk a chapter at a time but believe me the best of your journey is yet to come! Do not lose heart!
Philippians 4:8
In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.
God’s love is consistent! Believe it!
