Beauty For Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 “...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness...”-

Jesus came to change lives. Live that are hurting, lives that have been wasted without purpose, and lives that see that they are lost without Him. From the ashes of sin and despair to the beauty of living in Christ. He came to heal the brokenhearted, to them that come meekly to Him and ask for His help, He lifts us. He sets the captive free and give a new song, a new life of freedom. The joy of the Lord is our strength, and the heavy burden that we once carried is gone and is replace with praises to Him. Life happens, and we will face circumstance that will break our hearts and cause our joy to turn to sadness, but He is faithful to send His Spirit to carry us through and turn those things into something of worth. He is worthy of our praise, for He is Jehovah, and He will provide a deliverance. 

Broken and Spilled Out

Ps 34:17,18 “The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.”-

Broken and spilled out. God sees the tear of those who love Him and desire to do what is right. He will not leave them forsaken and will comfort them in their time of need. It may not be the way we think it needs to be done, but He is there to bring us through every situation that we go through. The Lord hears the cry of all who call out to Him, but He take special notice to those who serve Him in righteousness. God will hear the cry of a sinner to lead them to repentance, to those who are broken because of sin, God will hear and forgive their sins. We who love Him and seek His will, He will not turn away. Let us call upon Him in the day of trouble, He is waiting to show Himself strong and mighty in our behalf.
