One day at a time...: Beautiful

Beautiful

I first saw this video on a Sunday after the devastating Nashville flood that occurred on May 1, 2010. As you can imagine things were looking pretty dirty, dark, and damp for many weeks after the flood, as people began to assess the damage done to their homes and lives and as the clean up process started. I attended a church service that Sunday at a church in Nashville that was instrumental to the cleanup process. They played this video after hundreds of volunteers had come from all over Tennessee to tear down drywall, move furniture, rip up carpet, collect supplies and generally try to give encouragement to the thousands of hurting victims of the flood. This song spoke to my heart in ways I can't tell you, as I was asking where God was in the midst of my neighbor's pain. Can I encourage you in something today? Is your life a mess right now? Are you in the middle of something you never saw coming? Are you seemingly devastated beyond repair? Let me assure you, God is at work. He is who He was before this. He is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Right now and forever. He is still sovereign. He is still on the throne and He is making you new. He is making you beautiful right there in the middle of your chaos. And as a good friend reminded me, sometimes it takes a flood to end a dry spell.
