…The oil of gladness instead of mourning…

“You are the glorious Image Bearer of the Lord Jesus Christ— the crown of his creation. You have been assaulted. You have fallen to your own resources. Your Enemy has seized upon your wounds and your sins to pin your heart down. Now the Son of God has come to ransom you, and to heal your broken, wounded, bleeding heart, and to set you free from bondage. He came for the brokenhearted captives. that’s me. That’s you. He came torestore the glorious creation that you are. And then set you free … to be yourself.
‘The LORD their God will save them on that day
as the flock of his people.
They willsparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
How attractive and beautiful they will be!’ (Zech. 9:16-17) “

Gosh, so humbled. I am so unworthy.
