When a forest fire burns frantically through the woods, it burns everything in its path. Rotting trees, dead animals-everything is consumed and purged. But once the smoke clears and the ashes cool, hope is restored. In time, a new sprout pushes through the ashes. New life. God brings new life from our hurts and burns if we seek Him with all our hearts. Jesus came to "seek and to save that which was lost." God has a new life for you-a new life from your ashes.
