No matter what circumstances you find yourself in, never underestimate the power of God to bring beauty from your ashes, to rebuild hope from hopelessness, to birth new life out of seeming death, and to paint the perfect picture of redemption with the colors of affliction. "To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified” (Isaiah 61:3).
