no more thorn bushes

I came upon this verse tonight. It speaks of hope and fullness and restoration. More than that... a celebration of hope and fullness and restoration. Wanted to share it with you.

So you'll go out in joy. You'll be led into a whole and complete life. The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song. All the trees of the forest will join in the procession, exuberant with applause. No more thistles, but giant sequoias, no more thorn bushes, but stately pines -

Monuments to me, to God, living and lasting evidence of God.

Isaiah 55:12-13 (MSG)

Amen.
