What If...Part One: Beauty for Ashes


We've heard the phrase "Let God change your mess into your message"...but just go with me here..WHAT IF in the darkest, worst, most desolate places and experiences in your life, God had a plan for them? Well, He does! It's very difficult to understand & articulate with the human mind how some of the traumatic things we've been through in our lives could possibly be used for the healing, restoration, and liberation of others. 
The thing is, we are not here for our selves...and even though some of what we've been through we wouldn't wish on our worst enemies...it all sums back up to being for the glory of God. I'm no preacher nor bible scholar. But what I share is from personal experience. When we submit our lives..all of it, the good, bad, and ugly to God, He will most definitely make good use of it. He said that He would give us a crown of beauty for ashes, oil of joy instead of mourning (Isaiah 61:3). As difficult as it may seem, and I know from my own personal encounters, don't despise them. Use those experiences to receive healing and to bless others...bringing glory to God and truth of who He is. 
WHAT IF?


Be blessed today!
