Beauty for ashes, after
the storm passes the Rainbow appears across the sky for our eyes to gaze upon Jesus
the artist the creator of all did that just because he loves us so. Like a
beautiful fragrance, He wraps us up in his loving embrace. He is gentle like
the gentle shepherd who tends to his flock with such tender loving care.
His strength is
perfect, even when our strength is no more and we feel like we have reached our
limit. His strength abounds, his mercies are new every morning. His love keeps abundantly
overflowing. He knows all our heartaches, and sees every tear we cry in secret.
Every believer on their knees, every soul searching for something to fill their
void, He sees, He knows all.
We know there are
times when tragedy comes roaring in like a lion ready to devour us .Our eyes
look to the heavens. We cling to his promises they cannot be shaken! Like the storm
that comes in over the ocean, sometimes we see it over the horizon and other
times it sweeps over us like tidal wave and takes our breath away.
We see our brothers
and sisters in Christ face pain and trials and our hearts break for them. We
bear their burdens with them, as the scriptures instruct us to! Life is like a
vapor, like the wind, it’s here we feel it and then it’s gone. Like the grass
here today and withers away tomorrow. Unlike the world we live in, WE have that
hope that eternal hope we cling to that this world and all its heartaches cannot
take away from us.
Jesus is close to
the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in Spirit Psalm 34:18 The Lord is
always there, but are you open to his work in your life when life’s troubles
try to pull you under, distract us, tempt us, do you have Gods word hidden in
your heart, to recall in times of doubts and struggles? Lay down your burdens at
the foot of the cross, pour out your heart to Jesus, the only one who can carry
you until you reach the other side.
When we question Gods
providence, He always comes through in some way, though not always how we think
things should unfold, but just like any Father He knows better than we do. Many
times the weight of this evil world tries to crush us and tests our faith. We
all at times try to fill voids that we do not feel Jesus can fill. Jesus is our
everything, He needs to be the center of our lives, and nothing fills the empty
voids we have as CHRIST can!
Ask the Lord for a
deeper understanding of his Word! Ask him for peace that passes all
understanding! Ask him for a deeper revelation
of His presence in your life and He will pour it out on you! He is The God of
all comfort, Jehovah Jira the Great
Provider! He is the friend that is closer than a brother is! When we feel
scared, when were questioning our purpose, when we feel crushed beneath trails,
we need to turn to the Peace GIVER! The Life CHANGER! Life SUSTAINER! Let Jesus be our first
Responder!
When were on our
knees that is where our strength abounds! His strength is made perfect in our
weakness! No matter how dark your night is the Lord of the brokenhearted will
shine light into the dark and will bring beauty from ashes from our lives!
