Beautiful Things

Honestly, most days I do not feel beautiful.  Sometimes, I like the way I look on the outside, sometimes I like the way am feel on the inside, but most days, I see something that I am not proud of or just do not like about myself.
Psalm 149:4 says

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation
.

God will make beautiful those that are plagued or in pain by giving them salvation.  I just say "AMEN!" to that statement.  There is a new song out by a Christian group called Gungor that I find myself singing the chorus of a lot.  It says that God will make beautiful things out of us.  Simple.  No matter how ugly I find myself, or how much pain I go through, God makes me beautiful!

Beautiful Things by Gungor
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
