Beautiful Things


Have you ever heard the song Beautiful Things by Gungor? If not, I highly encourage you to read the lyrics. This song is a sweet reminder that God will make beauty out of the filth in our lives.

It is so easy for us as humans to have a sense of pessimism when we are faced with troubles. Speaking for myself, my mindset is often "Why me, God? You know I'm not strong enough to handle this!" Our God is not a god of coincidences! If he is putting us through a certain struggle, there is a specific reason for it. Whether it is for our own spiritual growth or so we can help others with their problems, He has a purpose. It's taken me a while to realize this, but it's amazing to see the blessings and good He has brought from my mess. 

We so often pray  for God to simply deliver us from the tribulations we face, but think of the growth and wisdom He'd bless us with if we had prayed for our hardships to bring Him glory! My prayer is we accept the trials with a sense of thankfulness and know he will always make beautiful things out of the dust. 

All this pain
I wonder if I'll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things 
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground 
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new
