Beautiful Things

On Sunday we used the song "Beautiful Things" by Gungor as the beginning and ending of our prayer time.  As we began our prayer time we sang about our pain and brokenness, wondering if things could change, and if new life could spring up.  We also sang of God's creating spirit, acknowledging how he makes beautiful things out of the dust and out of us.  Coming out of prayer to the lyrics "You make me new, you are making me new" gave us a hope and peace that God is with us(Emmanuel), and has a plan for our lives.  He is constantly molding and shaping us to be who he wants us to be, and showing us what he wants us to do.  He wants to make beautiful things through us, even in our brokenness, for his glory.
