Hope!

This past year has been crazy...to say the least. What we imagine is terrible God intends to use for our good. Our family is seeing that. Tonight I heard this song again (Less like Scars) and I started thinking about how true it is...especially for our life right now. We are seeing healing instead of broken-heartedness. Our family has renewed passion and joy that we never could have anticipated. Even at church we are learning about Hope! So, what we thought were terrible circumstances or scars are now being redeemed and restored.

Romans 5:3-5 says: "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

Here's the chorus of the song. You can watch the video below.

"And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars and more like
Character"
