#Beauty for ashes

[thewordfortheday]

Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to the end."

As a mother, I have often done the wrong things and spoken the wrong words. We all regret our actions. We might have hurt our loved ones. We all fall short and yet as we commit ourselves and our family into the sovereign hands of Jesus, He brings beauty out of those ashes. God illuminates those dark places and ugliness in our lives and makes everything beautiful in its time. You see, in creation, God brought beauty out of chaos. Jesus is a specialist in transforming our lives in the same way. He gives hope, peace, joy, healing, redemption, reconciliation, and comfort to His children even in our utter brokenness. He has put eternity in our hearts. We know that our hope in this great God who died to give us life, and life more abundantly and His grace is enough for us. (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Good Morning!☀️

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

Throughout God's creation of the world, it was stated "And it was good". After six days of creating it was stated:

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 1:31

God's original creation was good and beautiful. He is still making things good and beautiful in our lives:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Whatever you are going through, God will bring beauty out of it in his time. Wait on it!

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. 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 ‭61‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Good News For The Oppressed

I want to say that God saw something and he was making me feel his presence… I felt him almost say

“This is enough”

As he moved quickly to crown, celebrate and ADORN Halle. Not sure what’s going on behind the scenes but this was one of the most beautiful and spectacular encounters with God I have lived to witness.

Congratulations to her. She deserves his recognition. Btw I loved her dress with the white and the one with the mirrors 🪞 STUNNING 🤩

Someone give Ms. Berry her flowers PLEASE💐

🍇 So grateful. Oh, the fruitfulness here the Lord has provided. The gentle ways of his presence, leading, and protection. He is worthy to be trusted and leaned upon. To listen to him. Despite the flesh, the heart...to listen & obey. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24

and provide for those who grieve...— 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

YOU-Turns

We all know what a U-turn is — that moment when we realize we’re heading the wrong direction, and the only option is to turn around. (And maybe pray no one’s watching when we make it an extra-wide turn.) But have you ever thought about the YOU-turns we need in life? The ones where we are the ones who need to turn — and it’s not just our circumstances? Sometimes it’s not the traffic that’s wrong…

will is so fucking intelligent its actually insane. i never realized that he suspected seizure after his first case of sleep walking. immediately after that he's in hannibal kitchen theorizing about physical disease. its so heart breaking to see the way he feels so sure of the problem from the start but lacks the confidence to take action when his support system doesn't see eye to eye with him. how many times in his life has he known something with aching clarity, only to be denied by those around him that doubt, dislike, or infantilize him?
