He Gives Beauty for Ashes...

Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a] to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. God has promised to see us through the most painful hours of life. But, his compassion doesn’t end there. He will pick up the pieces of your broken heart and put them back together again. Our tears are precious to him, and our suffering never wasted. He understands the sorrow and will bring healing and new life from the ashes. NO MATTER HOW DEEP ONE MAY HAVE FALLEN INTO SIN… HE STILL GIVES BEAUTY FOR ASHES!!! I WORSHIP TODAY BY DECLARING, THERE WILL BE BEAUTY FROM THE PAIN.
