"What used to make us stumble, God can use to make us stand. What once made us bow our heads in shame, He can use for His glory."~ Joanna Weaver~ Having a Mary Spirit: How wonderful it is to know that God can take the ashes from my life, and rebuild me. He can take my ugly rags, and make beautiful garments out of them. He takes my weakness, and turns it into strength. He replaces the lies from my past, with sweet truth. He takes my damaged heart, and makes it good as new. He takes all of my pain, and turns it into precious blessings. He takes my faith, and daily increases it. He takes my prayers, and keeps them close to His heart for safe keeping. He loves this unworthy woman, unconditionally. I praise You my Father.

Your thoughts are beautiful... and you are worthy. You are the crowning glory of God's creation. Loved enough that Jesus came to Earth, suffered and died... what a perfect example of God's love!
I love this, how wonderful we are not just left with ugly scars. He turns those other things into wonderful character marks. And then uses them for his glory.
Amen!
Amen! SO true my friend. You have such a beautiful way of putting things that go right to my heart and what God wants me to hear or concentrate on that week or day. Thank you for your insight. I hope you are feeling well.

Good post, Denise. Hope you're having a great day!
Thanks Denise - I enjoy visiting your post whenever I can!
Your post reminded me of a song my dad used to sing to me. It talked about Him giving us beauty for ashes, the oil of JOY for mourning, and it was all so we could bring Him glory! I praise Him with you today!
Isn't that the truth! Great post! Blessings!
