NOTHING IS WASTED WHEN IT IS Shared With Me. I can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. I can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy.
Dear Jesus, We are so blessed to have a Friend like you! We want to learn how to share more and more of our life with You. We believe You are capable of bringing beauty out of our lost dreams, Joy out of our sorrow, Peace out of our problems. However, we confess that often we get stuck in brokenness and struggles. Help us bring all these things to You for transformation. Amen.
Beloved, you have made a request that pleases Me greatly. I delight in transforming My precious children. Give Me your broken dreams. Release them into My care and keeping. I will not only heal the brokenness. I will give you a new dream - one that is in harmony with My plans for you. As you work to actualize this fresh dream, you will find yourself becoming more content and increasingly aware of My beautiful Presence.
Give Me also your sadness and your problems. Sorrow shared with Me is permeated with brilliant sparkles of Joy - like numerous Christmas lights glittering in the darkness. Accept adversity as My gift to you. Search for golden pockets of Peace hidden in the stony hardness of your problems.
I am your devoted Friend and also your King of kings, accomplishing My divine transformation in you. All things are possible with Me!
- Jesus

"He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted ... 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 spirits of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor" (Isaiah 61:1-3 / New International Version)
