3 Ugly Beautiful Gifts

166. One of our storage rooms is ugly, it's not finished and is rough and cold. But it houses our inventory for Amazon and that makes it beautiful. - Sometimes the vessel is ugly but it's what is inside that makes it beautiful.


167. My reflection when using the plumb line of God's Word. How ugly it can be. But covered with the blood of Jesus Christ makes me beautiful.


168.  Some of my favorite books have been about the lives missionaries.  Much of what they lived with, were challenged with was very ugly. But their lives reflected God's grace and mercy to the extreme. The five Missionaries that were killed by the Auca Indian's in 1956 is an example of an ugly - beautiful gift. Yes these men were killed, but many were brought to Christ throughout these last 60 years because of the testimonies  of these men and their families.
