God grows beauty from broken ground.

📖Scripture

Isaiah 61:3 (NIV)

“…to bestow on 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…”

✨Devotional Thought

Life can break us in ways we never imagined—through loss, disappointment, betrayal, or seasons of deep sorrow. Yet, God has a way of meeting us right there, in the rubble. The same hands that formed the heavens can take the ashes of our story and craft something breathtakingly beautiful. Healing is not about pretending the pain never happened—it’s about trusting the One who can redeem it. Your broken ground is not wasted ground; it is soil for new growth

✍🏽 Challenge

This week, take a quiet moment to reflect on one place of brokenness in your life. Write it down, name it before God, and ask Him to plant seeds of healing and restoration there.

🙏🏽Prayer

Lord, I bring You every shattered piece of my heart. I trust You to use even my pain for Your glory. Turn my ashes into beauty and my mourning into joy. Bloom something eternal from what I’ve endured. Amen
