Tilled and Filled Again

 

And the land

that was desolate

      shall be tilled...

And they will say,

"This land that was desolate

has become like

   the garden of Eden...

and shall snow that

          I am the LORD.

I have rebuilt

   the ruined places

and replanted that

      which was desolate.

I am the LORD. I have spoken,

  and I will do it."

          Ezekiel 36. 34-36

(God may or may not

change our circumstances,

but He changes us in them.

God restores, rebuilds,

and redeems

    even the unfathomable.

He heals, strengthens,

and makes all things new,

  even the deep places

  where we cannot breathe..

He aligns our hearts

             with His.)

O LORD,

We all struggle with something.

We all fall short.

We all need You.

Walk with us

  through this desolation,

even that of our own making.

Restore, rebuild, edeem,

  bring something new.

Bring Your glory to this

  in ways we cannot imagine.

Pour Your goodness

and healing

  over our hurting hearts.
