God's Beautiful Picture

Good morning and happy Thursday. Have you ever looked at something and as soon as you saw it you nearly cried because it was so beautiful? Well, God in all His wisdom, showed me a picture that was just the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. As I pulled into the parking lot last night, a young single mom was walking her 3 yr old son into church. Doesn't sound like much really does it?  Here's why fellowship with one another so important. I know her history, the parts she has shared. Some not able to be spoken about yet. I know that she was left and abandoned at 14. I know she made some bad choices along the way. I know she has a heart that is truly seeking God daily. To know her story and to see her alone with her son walking into church is absolutely beautiful. So then, God gives me the the better picture, a closer more HD look at it after church. This mom and I are talking about stuff and she is going through a rough skid in life again. Satan is attacking, and as we talk she says the most eye opening thing. "Because of my past and what I've done, I know what forgiveness really is". What I saw in the parking lot was what God can do when a heart turns to Him and truly seeks Him. How much do we take for granted what Jesus did for us? How much do we really appreciate all He does for us? She gets it. I'm blown away by her passion for God, because I know it could've been different. He's turned ashes into beauty and it made me cry to see His work. He is amazing. Please tell others about Him. In love always. <><
