burned but not abandoned

As I was out on a morning walk, I saw this house that has obviously suffered through a harsh fire recently.  In the neighborhood with other homes well taken care of, it looked abandoned.  There was a guy doing something in the rumble of it all, and it made me think....

Have you been burned?

Has your heart, your health or your mind suffered some intense flames?  Have you been damaged? Broken? Disfigured?  Dirtied? Suffocating in the smoke of the after affects?

Burned, but not abandoned. 

Whatever happened to you – in whatever way.. you have not been left to mend the wounds all alone.  Although it might feel this way.  It might seem like no one is there.  The windows are broken and its all deserted.  But the Lord, the Author, The Designer knows.  He Knows the original intent, and He does not abandon.

He sees.

He Loves.

He Restores.
Remodels.

Mends.

Heals.

He turns Ashes into Beauty.

Always.

Sometimes it just takes a little time for reconstruction. 

But He does the work.  He can.  And He Will. 

Just let Him.

Hand over the rights. 

Hand over the ownership.

He is a rich landlord that invests without holding back.

He will do it! 

He will restore!

Redeem and make a comfortable, lovely dwelling for Himself in you once again.

He will!

Beauty from Ashes.
