"to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness 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"
~Isiah 61:3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
my ashes have been transformed to beauty
just as my mourning to be the oil of gladness
and my spirit of despair to be transformed to a garment of praise
i AM an oak of righteousness.... that feels like a small ugly seeding...
but i think, until i realize these truths and believe in faith... i can not progress in learning His love...

dude isaiah 61 is legit, thanks for sharing. i love verses 1 and 2...it reminds me that because of Jesus, my profession in life is to bind up the brokenhearted and proclaim freedom for those in bondage. this is what i'm called to do for life, whatever my worldly profession may be. it's a pretty cool calling.
