"You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book."
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book."
~Psalm 56:8
"He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins,
repairing cities destroyed long ago.
They will revive them,
though they have been deserted for many generations."
~Isaiah 61:2-4

How lovely! The rose in that partial light is amazing. Beauty is food for the soul and I am fed by the verse as well as the sight of the rose.
There is such a feel of beauty in repose that comes along with this photo. It is a quiet dignity that grows tall like a Cedar tree. Lovely.
I am so bless to know that your soul was uplifted. That is my aim, to comfort others with the comfort I have received in Christ Jesus. Blessings on your day.
