This wonderful verse from Isaiah 54 reminds us that no matter what struggles we face, God is ever-present and ready to rebuild us to reflect His Glory - in sparkling, dazzling jewels!

O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,
I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires.
I will make battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.

Thanks be to God,

Amen
