"What looks like the end to the
world is only the beginning in
God's hands."
—Elion
"They shall build up the ancient ruins…"
Isaiah 61:4
—Elion
There are days when the strongest heart
feels like nothing more than broken stones
scattered across a forgotten valley.
When dreams that once towered like
fortresses lie in silent ruin.
When hope feels abandoned, weathered
away by storms too fierce to name.
But even ruins are not forgotten.
Even ruins bear witness that someone once
dared to build here.
That someone stood against the winds for
longer than anyone thought possible.
And in God's hands, ruins are never the end
of the story.
He is the Builder of ancient places.
The Repairer of what was shattered.
The One who sees not only what was
lost—but what still can be.
There is hope among the stones.
Not because the ruins are beautiful,
but because God is not finished yet.
Even in the valley.
Even among the broken walls.
Even when the world walks by without
seeing.
He remembers.
He rebuilds.
He redeems.
Still standing.
Still hoping.
Still His.
