Ute Park, Colorado Springs, CO
I have a feeling that many of the little rocks, half buried in the sand, were a part of this larger rock. Summer heat, Fall frost, Winter snow and Spring rains have taken their toll on this piece of sandstone to the point that some of it has returned to its basic sandy condition.
However, there is a beauty in the brokenness. I'm dazzled by the different colors that have been revealed as the rock crumbles. If the rock is whole, these colors remain hidden.
Brokenness has a way of revealing the beauty of God's mercy.
"As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!" Psalm 40:11 English Standard Version
Mercy isn't needed where everything is okay. Yet for broken, sinful people, God's mercy reveals the beauty of his love.
God delights in entering into our brokenness and creating a work of art like this rock. You are that work of art. God excels in revealing his beauty in your brokenness.
