Turn my Mourning into Dancing

This has been a year of grief. A year of multiple losses at so many levels. But the Lord has been so near to my grieving heart. As it says in Isaiah 61:3 -

"and provide for those who grieve in Zion -
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness 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."

He's in the process of rebuilding, restoring and renewing me so that my sorrow may be transformed into beauty, gladness and praise of Him. Everlasting joy is mine through Jesus Christ alone.

The chorus of the song, 'Our Great God' has been stuck in my head since last night.

Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!

Join me in praising Him. He's SO WORTHY to be praised!

Pray with me that He will turn my mourning into dancing.
Make it so, Lord. Make it so.
