Beauty from Dead Wood



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.
