EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many of us awake in the morning, and one of the first things we do is analyze how we are feeling. Some good days, some not so good. Did you awake today feeling any emptiness and pain? Sometimes we can feel this even at the most peculiar times…
God wants you to be healed and set free from any emptiness and pain, no matter when it strikes. He wants to provide for you His rich and deep-rooted love, which only He can give. The Lord will provide you beauty for your ashes. He tells us in His Word.
Beauty for ashes represents God’s redemptive power from the very beginning.
“…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.” (Isaiah 61:3).
The ashes are your adversities in life, and beauty refers to how the Lord can turn around those adversities so that He may be glorified.
I want to declare to you, Woman of God, that everything can be taken from you-one by one, including your dignity, but the power to choose what attitude you have towards the traumatic events that have happened to you will never be taken away.
Beyond the pain in life, there is always a silver lining and light at the end of the tunnel. God provides hope in His Word.
God is not limited by the same things that may limit us in our natural, everyday world. He operates beyond all limitations-past failures, lack of resources, or even a poor upbringing. God takes whatever we have and applies His love and favor to it, and lets it soar. By allowing this, it causes you to excel in the most unlikely situations.
This is something to understand when you are down in the dumps! Praise Him. Praise Him! 🙌
