heard a worship song at the Catalyst conference that said “You make beautiful things out of the dust, You make beautiful things out of us.” that got me thinking about how so much of what i think, feel, do, and say is ugly, but that with Christ’s death the Lord has redeemed all of those hideous things and makes them beautiful. my life can be a pretty ugly mess, but because He is directing it, it becomes a beautiful mess.

thank You Lord for making such beautiful things.
