See, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you in festal apparel. Zechariah 3:4
The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.’ Luke 15:21–22
Lord, there are times where both the grimmest and most beautiful things in the world can give us the most glory. Help us to know which one we should embrace. Our joy only comes from you. Amen.
