Only God can bring beauty out of ashes . Ashes represent “Total” destruction.When it feels like you’re all alone-Call on Jesus
When you feel like you’re totally misunderstood -Call on Jesus.When your friends or family turn their backs on you-Call on Jesus,When your husband has just walked out on you,and you need him now-Call on Jesus.When you’ve lost everything near and dear to you-Call on Jesus,When your own brothers and sisters in Christ treat you bad,talk about you and turn away-Call on Jesus.
It “really” looks like everything in your life and everything in this world has gone slap crazy! You need to take another look,it’s time to look up. Only God sees and knows about the pain and heartache that now surrounds and holds you. Look up for God’s love for you is great! You look to Jesus and call on him and mean business and He will not only hear,but He will answer.
Jesus Christ is Alive.
Isaiah 61:
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.
Jeremiah 17:7,8
7 “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
Love in Christ Pat
