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 (NKJV)

Ashes come to Zion, mourning and even the spirit of heaviness at times. But it is how God's people respond that defines them and makes them righteous! The journey makes our roots take hold and we begin to flourish and ultimately, the Lord is glorified!

As Christians we have the answer to the world's problems. Why do we still live in bondage? Why do we waste time doing our own thing? We have the answer and yet so many times we choose to be defeated by the attacks of the enemy. Enough is enough. There has to be an awakening in the hearts of Christians to walk in the God's presence like never before, because the world won't want something that doesn't actually change them. We talk the big talk about transformation, but are we really walking out transformation?

He came to bring us HOPE! Often we can become distracted and swayed by the things that this life has to offer or by the circumstances of life. But we need to remember that God sent His only son to set us free from those things- to bring us Hope, Joy, Passion, Purpose.... ALL this for His Glory that the world may see WHO He is and what He has to offer....
