Can you picture your life as a beautiful building? Maybe it’s ornate like a Gothic cathedral, or simpler like a farmhouse on the plains of Kansas. Perhaps, life is right smack in the middle of the hustle and bustle like a skyscraper or is it a quieter structure snuggled in an Italian village.
Like anything we build, life is subject to wear and tear, and the unforeseen, uncontrollable elements. After a “storm” blows through and the dust settles, there are piles of ashes surrounding the broken beams, shattered glass, caved-in roofs, and remnants of foundations.
There is hope.
Jeremiah prophesied that God has loved us with an everlasting love and draws us with His faithfulness. In this constant love we will be built and rebuilt (Jeremiah 31).
Can you picture God’s eternal love? Like the pouring rain, it floods in turning ash to clay. Moldable clay, ready. Can you see it washing over the brokenness? It’s lifting pieces as it rises, setting them back into place. It surrounds the unstable until it’s secure again. That is the everlasting love of God toward you.
Take some time today, let His love minister to your heart.
