We all have situations in our life that has caused us deep grief.  Isaiah wrote about bringing a message of hope to the poor, of healing to the brokenhearted and of joy to those who are mourning.  When Jesus was here on earth He stood up at one point and spoke the same words of Isaiah, proclaiming that He is the man to fulfill these words.  Our lives may be scattered with ashes but He is the one who promises to bring beauty from them if we would just let Him.
