Beauty For Ashes
Just like new growth after a fire, so it is with us. God is an expert at taking the ashes of our pain and extracting beauty. Not only does he extract beauty, he plants newness of life in the womb of our life and He waters us with his love and affection. No legalism, no rule based living, just pure embrace. It’s the perfect love of God that banishes fear, in His arms we are held and known.
This one is called “Beauty For Ashes” The darker pinks and purples at the bottom are the ashes that birth this new life and bring beauty through the deep colors in the tapestry that God weaves with our stories. Then the light emerges. This speaks to the intimacy, the knowing and holding we have always needed.
