He could have been any kind of God He wanted to be. He could have been:
Selfish
Angry
Hurtful
Slave Driver
Cruel
Punishing
Instead He chose to be a God who flips all that is wrong into right. He turns:
The ugly into beautiful,
The hopeless into hopeful.
Never is anything past redemption, past restoration.
He takes the ashes of our lives and replaces them with beauty and life.
He brings the dead to life…. just think about that…. the dead to life.
Sometimes we think we have done too much, crossed the line too far, done the unforgiveable… but there He is… wooing us back to Him, to all that is Holy, to all that is righteous!
“See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.”
-Isaiah 43:19
Let the Lord bring you beauty for your ashes!
