"I say to myself, I will not mention His name, I will speak in His name no more. But then, it becomes like a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones, I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it." Jeremiah 20:7-10

Turn to Beauty
The ugliness of a day
gone wrong
hangs heavy upon my soul.
I long to push the memory
to the depths of my mind
where it should spoil and rot.
But shame has mighty power
it's own
so far from my self-control.
Lurid and lingering details
return to haunt me still;
overcome them I cannot.
I carry the weight and sink
in sin;
distant is my peace-filled goal.
He invites me to come to Him
and bring as gift all the
dark in which I am so caught.
Then He speaks words so tender;
His love
returns my heart back to whole.
The ugly turns to beauty
and I will cope and thrive.
See what His great love has wrought?
