We suggest that a search be made in your ancestors’ records, where you will discover what a rebellious city this has been in the past…

Ezra 4:15

Everyone has a past. Everyone has made mistakes. But thank the Lord that he doesn’t see our rebellious ruins and say “No, this will never do.” He looks at our rebellious past & all, and says, “Right there. That’s

where I want to build my temple.”

That’s what’s so great about Jesus.

He’s done the search from our past.

He’s seen us at our worst. He knows we’ll never be perfect, yet he still chose to die for us so WE could be the Lord’s temple.

I’m so thankful that our God chooses us just as we are. Broken, ashamed, bitter, all of the above and he says, “I know, but watch what I can do.”

I pray you accept his grace today and allow him to turn your ruins into his beautiful temple. 🩵
