"Awaken in Beauty"

20x30 8x12"

When I was walking with my youngest daughter recently, my attention was drawn to the dry hydrangea flowers in a shrub. They had had their blooming season, despite that I saw the beauty of the fine veins, each one so beautifully made. 

Then God began to speak. The dry petals with only veins, represent the dry bones from Ezekiel. 

I bring the dry leaves together into a whole, give leaf between the veins and give it color again, my glory will make it shine like never before. That is how it will be in the lives and situations of My children. I am going to bring a change in the situations. That was death, I am going to bring life there. And it will be more beautiful than ever before, My glory will radiate from them.

I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. Ezekiel 37:6-7 NIV
