Recently one of my favorite songs has become Michael Gungor's, Beautiful Things.
As I drove home tonight I played this song over and over again.
At first, I just listened to the words. I listened and wondered at the amazing things the Lord makes beautiful. And then it hit me.
He is making me beautiful, He is making me new.
I know this may not seem like a major revelation for you, but for me in the place I am in right now... this was a MAJOR concept for my heart to grasp.
As I received these words my heart began to open and my voice began to sing.
I have been struggling in this season of my life. I want to be doing something great...I want to be the beautiful flower. But how does the beautiful flower begin... in the ground, roots digging deep, being cared for by the Gardener.
I am in great anticipation and have great determination for this time in the dust...
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things out of us
You are making me new
I LOVE that song. I had it on repeat this past fall. You are beautiful and He is making you beautiful!
