Beauty in Brokenness....

Here is a clip from something I read this morning..

Somehow, uniquely, God desires to use those difficult moments of our lives to bring forth something extraordinarily beautiful. Even the natural creation attests to this truth. In fall, we marvel at the gorgeous, lush colors of burnt amber, burnished orange, brilliant red, and bright yellow leaves, even as that beauty belies the slow and gradual death of those leaves. Winter buries those leaves under the cold, dark blanket of snow and frost. And yet, death brings forth life. Spring bursts forth year after year with jonquils, iris, lilies, and all the beautiful pastels of new life.

If you haven't heard of Ravi Zacharius before he is an amazing man with an amazing story. I was introduced to his work some time last year by my good friend Trent.

Ravi has a couple of radio broadcasts that are very good. The word of God can appeal to us in so many ways. Ravi appeals through the intellect.
