This verse, found in Job, Chapter 14, verse 7, speaks of God's glorious hope. The hope that God gives us in our lives over and over again. The hope that seems so evident in the world around us in spring. The things of nature often die over winter... and yet each spring, new life springs up. It is so joyous to watch new life and color spring into a world that seems almost colorless in winter.
There are many such images in Scripture, in different variations, of the theme of beauty from ashes. As Christians, we have the blessed promise of new life. Scripture tells us that from death comes new life. When we die to self, we are alive in Christ!
I offer my praises to God who offers us new life, renewal, and new starts each morning.

This really blessed my heart. I'm so glad you did this for WFW! Have a great day!
Wow, I absolutely love the picture and the verse, they are so fitting! This really spoke to me today, reminded me to never give up hope, especially when things look *hopeless*
Loved that verse, especially since I just had my trees cut way back ~
