Beauty In Ashes

            I took a solo trip up to the North Shore as I knew I needed to be alone with my Father. This time is often taken for granted, but it is the most necessary thing for us as Christians to do. For He is the One who sustains our very life and when we do not spend time with Him, we begin to die spiritually. If we do not spend time with the author of Life, how can we as believers expect to be vibrant in our faith and in our walk with Him? This was a much needed time of refreshment for me as I have been feeling very drained. The Lord often has to remind me that He can use anything for our good and His glory. I could not see the beauty in this picture until I stopped my complaining about the hazy skies and let Him reveal to me the beauty He had made in them. May it be our prayer that we would have the blinders removed from our eyes so that we can see Him for who He truly is!
