God Brings Beauty From Trouble

What do you think? Do you believe it?

Well, friend, I do. I believe for I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

“God is the One who brings beauty from trouble and redemption from brokenness.” -Amber Jeann Parker

It can be a painful process, this bringing forth beauty out of what was jagged, sharp, painful, & hurting. It isn’t done yet. Or did you see that— God is slowly at work, working out the roughness, the broken, the angsty bits of our heart & life… He is forming it into this new and other creation— forming our lives, our circumstances, our very selves— into something new.

I turn in gratitude, seeing what He has done already… in awe of the broken bits that were trampled, now brought back together to be used for good.🙏 He is at work. Cruciform living as @annvoskamp would say.

I am thankful, grateful, relieved to see the progress that has been made— hopeful for the rest that is still being worked out. God, may you work in me. Sanctify me. Heal me— to do your great work. Amen.

Comment 🙏 if you agree. Share how the Lord is transforming you in the comments. I’d love to hear.

I hope you are doing well and able to: Choose Joy In the Midst of whatever is going on in your life. To fight for joy while interacting with the reality of life as well.

Be Blessed,

-Amber Parker

    God uses everything to transform us and reveal himself in a deeper way. I agree. He is causing me to trust him this season with being distanced from family. I became an empty nester last year, and also, my twin left for NC. I realize that God is sovereign and I trust that he wouldn’t let anything happen to me (even loss) if it weren’t absolutely necessary for my growth. He is faithful. PTL …..Thanks for your words.
