Friday, June 4th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

"A traveler visited an ancient volcano and described it as a cup-like hollow on the mountain summit full of lush vegetation, and that, where the fierce heat had once burned, lay a still, clear pool of water, looking up like an eye to the beautiful heavens above. That vision brings to mind the question: How many a man, who before conversion, was a fiery, death-dealing volcano of sin, and who has, by the grace of Jesus, become gentle and beautiful, reflecting in his measure the heavenly peace and loveliness of all creation?"

Isaiah 61:3 says,

“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”

I don’t know about you, but I praise God for taking the fiery things in our lives and giving us beauty for ashes.

"God, thank You for the transformation You bring to us.
Amen."

God is awesome!
