Beauty Out of Ashes
||November 06, 2009|108 reads
 
                    

When I captured this rose through the lens of my camera it reminded me of how God brings beauty out of ashes. Here is a rose bush that is clearly at the end of its season. After the long spell of rain we experienced here in the South the sun is shining. In His Sonshine, a beautiful rose is brought forth. God displays the beauty of His creation through this rose that we might see and rejoice ~ there is life and He is Life. He gives us beauty out of ashes (Isa 61:3). CLICK on the photo to see the real beauty of the rose.

That reminds me of what God does with people.  His love can bring about miraculous emotional and physical healing, when other methods have failed.

Thank you for sharing this, Teral.

What about them thorns?  How many times has beauty caused people to get stuck? Very nice photo. Just a little different perspective from an old rose picker.

Thanks Terel. I too clicked. This rose is really beautiful. The Lord
shows us that even with the thorns in life, there is still much to be appreciated
and thankful for.
I like the way you wrote this.
Have a blessed day!
