If we allow God to show it to us, somewhere within those messes that we too often make, beauty exists. I am always in awe of how He picks up the pieces and put things back together. I am constantly being reminded that my "messes" are too large for me to clean up. I am eternally grateful that our Father is willing to step in and help... better yet, step in and take over! "Lord, I am thankful that you never close the door on my messes and for your willingness to step in and clean up after me! I am so thankful that I have a Father like you; A Father I can turn to, one with whom I always have a direct line of communication and a Father who makes it SO easy to ask for help! Lord, I am so undeserving of your Love and Grace, but eternally thankful to have been chosen. You know me better than I know myself... I've made more and bigger messes than I'd like to admit and, without a doubt, will create more messes in the future. I ask that you would give me the wisdom and discipline so that my messes will become smaller and fewer! Lord, allow me to learn from the messes I've made in the past and, if it's your will, use me to aid in cleaning them up for others. I ask these and all things in Jesus' name... Amen!" Well said!
