LOSS

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me....to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" (Isaiah 61:1,3 NKJV). If we experience loss, the Lord will give us joy. The circumstances may not change, but He Himself is the source of our joy (Philippians 4:4).
