Last week I spoke about the devastation left on the road
verge by the JCB operator who used his machine to chew its way through the
roadside plants, from honeysuckle to damson and cherry trees to the humble
broom and gorse.
Today, much to my delight, I discovered that on top of the
wreckage of the mauled gorse there are sprouts of some sort of golden fungi
which are actually quite beautiful. They are of a deeper hue than the ordinary
flower of the gorse and seem to be bursting out of the torn stems and branches
strewn on the ground.
No matter how wrecked a life looks, there is always an
opportunity for new and beautiful growth.
The nature of God is so good, that
when he looks at your life or mine he sees infinite possibilities for new
sprouts of beauty.
Perhaps your circumstances or a situation in your life today
seems like a scorched battlefield, but wait, prayerfully wait. God is at work
to bring beauty from ashes because his nature is always to love, to create, to
bring us blessings which none of us deserve.
Wow.
