Isaiah 61:1-3

This is my life verse...God truly is an artist, a lover, a friend - He is beautiful. He wrote this for me, to me and about me...and for YOU - to be set free, to be released from darkness. To be restored, made whole. To be given permission, to be ordained, to be yourself. What could be better?

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor...

...to comfort all who mourn,
...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.
