Four years ago I visited Bath for a one night break away from a busy life to meet a friend and spend some time reflecting. Whilst waiting for my friend to arrive I made an unplanned visit to a church. Inside was a communion table made out of old broken and ugly bits of wood which a creative craftsmen had turned into a lovely table. At the time it reminded me that The Creator can take ugly brokenness and turn it into something of purpose and lovely to see.
Deuteronomy 23:5" But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. He turned the intended curse into a blessing because the Lord your God loves you".
As I sat looking at that table I was in a period of my life when I was dealing with the ugliness of life and since then I have been broken by stress. But in both ugliness and brokenness, what was intended as a curse has been turned into a blessing by The Creator, my Lord God.
Wherever your at in life, there is hope.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" .
