Isaiah 61:3 NIV

and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

They see something

Broken,

Pieces of a puzzle

Not fully complete

But he sees something

Beautiful

Formed from

The ashes

Of what the

World sees

As imperfection.

~~~

They see limitations

The worldly things

That limit us

He sees beauty

As we walk in

His grace.

~~~

They see things

In shades of gray

While he paints

Such vibrant colors

When we walk

In his way.

~~~

They see the

World

In shades of pain!

He gives comfort

Wraps us in

His arms

When we call

On his name.
