Tonight I shared my story with a bunch of people. Details and all. I feel quite transparent right now, actually like those people can now see right through me. But I don't do it for me, because obviously there's no fun in that, it's just painful and uncomfortable! I do it all for the glory of God. That out of my mess, he might draw people to himself and heal them just as he has healed me. I do it with a thankful heart.
This song says it all, and has appeared at just the right time.
Beautiful Things - Gungor
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You can listen to it here.
Psalm 40:1-3 - I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
Praise God for all that he has done. It is well with my soul!
Sarah.
