Isaiah chapter 62: All the more beautiful

62:3 ‘You will be a crown of splendour in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.’

If we only knew how much God loves us, heals us, restores us. Only He sees the full beauty that is within us. Even those scars that disrupt and weaken us can be filled with gold to make us all the more beautiful.

There is a Japanese saying that ‘We become stronger in broken places’.  “When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold.  They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful.” (Billie Mobayed)

O King of the nations, and their desire,

the cornerstone making both one:

Come and save the human race,

which you fashioned from clay.
