Have you seen a kid with a pen and a book? He is very eager to write, but then he holds the pen halfway in a way that he cannot get anything legible to write. After some minutes of some serious work, he is caught! Mostly, the elder ones collect the book from him and give him a rough one so as not to discourage him.
The markings of the pen on the book is unreadable as it is full of dots and lines that are not straight. To the older ones, he has written rubbish in your book and the best thing to do is to tear out the page.
However, a very skillful artist can get hold of that same page and join the dots, add more lines and make some other skillful adjustments to the page and the mess of the kid will turn out to be a beautiful piece of art work!
That's how God does things too. Instead of tearing it out, He would join the dots and create a masterpiece out of the nonsense on the paper. He is very very skillful at turning ashes into beauty.
Don't say that yours is too ugly and burnt. There is a verse in Psalms 48 that will answer your question...BEAUTIFUL FOR SITUATION... God can!
