it.

When my father went to be with the Lord, that was a dark time for me.

But I can tell you, I wasn't in the darkness of the tomb.

I was in the darkness of the womb.

God birthed talent in me that I didn't know was there.

He took what I thought would be my darkest hour and turned it into my brightest hour.

The scripture says God will turn your mourning into dancing.

He will take away your sadness and clothe you with joy.

I believe there's sadness that's about to be taken away.

That darkness is about to lift off of you.

You're going to be clothed with joy, happy, fulfilled, vibrant, with fresh vision, fresh passion.

Not just come out okay.

Hey, I made it through.

That morning is about to be turned to dancing.

God is going to make up for the sadness.

He's going to pay you back for the sorrow, the hurt, the injustice.

Now get your hopes up.

Like Job, keep thanking him that he's granted you favor.

Keep declaring my redeemer lives.

Job went through this dark season, but that's not where he ended.
