Ashes are produced when something is burnt - i.e. most vividly in the case of wood. This process is not reversible. The wood that is burnt cannot become wood again. And the ash - yes, in most cases it is considered worthless and thrown away. However... ash can be used to make soap with the necessary framework conditions and additives. It needs the right temperature and fat. In this way, ash becomes something completely new, valuable and useful. A great perspective, I think. If there are also things, experiences, relationships etc. in your life that have been burnt and where only ashes remain - there is hope. With the necessary framework conditions and additives, it can become something great again. For me, this is my relationship with God and counting on His possibilities against all hopelessness. Ultimately, the power of the resurrection and His love.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
