Broken Into Beautiful

Broken Into Beautiful
Gwen Smith/Sue Smith/Chad Cates
She's smiling on the outside
But she's hurting on the inside
It's getting hard just living anymore
And the shadows she has clung to
Painful things that she has been through
Have left her feeling worthless, Lord... but

You change worthless into precious
Guilty to forgiven
Hungry into satisfied
Empty into full
All the lies are shattered
And we believe we matter
When You change broken into beautiful

We live with accusations
Sometimes heavy expectations
That tell us we can never measure up 
And yet You repeat with mercy
That in your eyes we are worthy
At last we see how much we're loved cause

Chorus

Though we can't see how we can stand before you Lord
And feel valued, priceless and adored

So far my walk with God has been inconsistent.
Again, I'm sharing it here.
I kinda feel like I'm very luo so, repeating grandmother's story.But what- to- do, memang I'm weak.
Like I want to do it,I just am not able to, yet.

So I wanna just post some little quotes here, extracted from all my past devotion.
In future when I scroll through all this again, I might be reminded of His love.

'When I lean on my own understanding, I feel shaky.Help me submit my questions to You, and to trust that You have everything under control.I have a choice when I don't get a satisfactory answer to why somehting happened.I can choose to allow frustration to grow into distrust, or to submit my need to know why to You.'


1 Corithians 10:13
¹³ No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Matthew 6: 19-21

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

'Nothing happens to you except by the will of God, and yet beloved children curse it because they do not know it for what it is.'
Isaiah 55:9
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.'

If you ask, what is it that I find so attractive in other people, I'm gonna steal this one sentence from my daily devotion author.

'What I have found to be most attractive is a person’s God-blessed passion, their love for the Lord and how that is expressed through their actions.'
