Beauty out of the ashes


Can you see it? The beauty that is pouring out of this broken brick home?

Nobody has lived in this house in Hong Kong in over fifty years. It sits with trash piled around the base, and crumbled brick.

Yet life has found its way to grow from that heap of mess to create something that captivated me and drew my attention far more than the houses around it that were in perfect order.


I think that is why God chooses to use the weak and the broken to accomplish great things in the kingdom. It takes our eyes off of the house, and we focus more on the life that is bursting out from inside, which is like him coming out of a person who the world sees as unfit.

God uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, he uses the people that surprise us. He likes  the glory, and when we aren't able to do it in our own strength, he gets all the glory, which he deserves.


Thank you for using me daddy!
