He Brings Beauty from Ashes

“To all who mourn... he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning.”

Isaiah 61:3

God specializes in restoration. He takes brokenness and turns it into beauty. Mourning into joy. Ashes into something valuable. Whatever pain you’ve walked through, know this: It’s not the end of your story. Trust Him with your wounds - He is the Healer, and He makes all things new.
