...and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow upon them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. (NIV)
How refreshing it is to know that even in times of trouble and despair, God has promised to turn that horrible situation you're in, into a period of joy! He is using your time of trouble to show you His glory. Your end is going to be beautiful, you just have to trust in Him, be patient and endure.
Things may look bad now, but God is working for your good. And when the storm of challenges has finally passed, you'll be able to look back and proudly say, "I put my hope in the Lord and He never failed!"
Stay blessed and stay a blessing.
