Exchange your Ashes for His Beauty!



I wanted to share with you a little nugget today as I was meditating on God’s word. I was reading Isaiah 61-3.
God brought this to me as I read my Bible this morning. For our ashes, God is exchanging joyous and beautiful things for us. Don't hold on to your ashes, exchange them for the beauty that God has for you today!
 A lot of times we want to hold on our past hurts and we keep nursing the pain. God is saying it’s enough! He wants to heal you today. You don’t have to cry yourself to sleep every day. Offer all your pain, and place it at the cross.  With the Blood of Jesus you are healed if you believe in Him! You are set free!
Let’s rejoice in gladness today and stop mourning.  God has a crown of beauty that He wants to place on your head today! Join us and become part of the Gods Family -- a son or daughter of the Lord! And enter into the everlasting love that only God can give and has no end!
 It’s a New Day!  Live and enjoy God, His presence is with you! Rejoice Today!  Have a Blessed Day!

To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
    festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
    that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

Isaiah 61-3

From my heart to yours!
