OUT OF THE ASHES WE RISE!


Weeping only endures for the night, for there is a time to weep and mourn but there ultimately comes a time to rise up with new hope! There is no shame in the sorrow of the night, for life is made up of just as much sorrow as joy and pain as pleasure. Even God has declared that mourning, weeping and sorrow have an appointed time, but that time passes and must be exchanged for new garments of joy and praise.

Are you in pain? Are you in sorrow? Are you in mourning over life's difficulties. Feel, cry and grieve and then LET HOPE RISE. It will rise! And when hope begins to rise you will rise with it. You were created to rise , to bounce back.

What is beautiful about painful seasons is the beauty of new strength that results. Not only do you return out of your moment, you return wiser, deeper and with a maturity that resounds.

Someone recently "wished" me to find peace. Find peace? I never lost it! Pain doesn't take or lose peace - it DEEPENS and STRENGTHENS IT! Seasons of reflection, repose - only strengthen that which remains. I rise. I rise with what I had and more.
