The Ugly,the Bad and the Beautiful

                                        The Ugly,the Bad and the Beautiful

 Life may seem a little gruff right now. Everything may seem tangled, rotten and ugly. You may have a sickness that is ravaging your body and what was once so beautiful is destroying itself. You may be going through hard and rocky mountain trials and you wonder will you ever reach the peak. Well Jesus knows the very spot where you are, for he was there.

He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:3-5)

 The beauty of Christ’s story which is the guide for our lives is that it ends in beauty. Furthermore, Christ not only experienced pain, but joy on earth. He experienced laughter, the fulfillment of healing those who were broken and sick, friendship, peace and ultimate fellowship with the father. Just as he experienced all these things we can on earth alongside trials.  We can be happy, whole and at peace on earth amidst the pain, trials and hardship. His crucifixion was ugly, but it ended in ultimate beauty. He died but resurrected beautiful, bright and shining and ascended back to heaven. God not only knows where you are, but where you will be.  
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.(1 Corinthians 2:9)
