No matter what you’re going through, God can bring beauty from ashes.

The Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, first used those words:  “beauty from ashes.”  Perhaps that’s exactly what you need to hear right now in your personal journey.

One of our darkest seasons as a couple came as we worked through the abuse my wife suffered as a child.  Counseling, God’s grace and a commitment to work through the tragedy has moved Jan to a life surrounded by restored relationships.  What I love more than anything is the beautiful character that emerged from the ashes of abuse.

Nothing is too far gone for God’s redeeming hand to lift up.  Remember Romans 8:28… that “God works all things together for good.”  God can take any situation and bring beauty from ashes.
