Everyone has experienced hurt and disappointment in life,
but God doesn’t want us to sit in the ashes of the past. The bible says, “He
will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.”
Your loving, heavenly Parent wants to trade your brokenness
for healing. The key is that we have to be willing to give up the “ashes” in
order to receive the “beauty.” You can’t have both because the old has to go
before the new can come.
Friend, ask yourself if you’re really trusting God with your
past hurts and mistakes. Are you willing to make the choice to let go of the
pain, to forgive others (and yourself) so you can move forward into real peace,
victory and freedom?
I want to encourage you not to waste another moment sitting
in the ashes. The past is over but your future remains, and if you’ll trust
God, He said it will be more amazing than what you could’ve hoped or dreamed of
yourself. Choose to let Him give you joy instead of mourning; let Him begin to make
something beautiful out of the ashes!
