This Wednesday at 7 PM
However, once the celebrations are over, silence remains, bringing a resisting sense of emptiness that one cannot ignore, no matter how hard one tries. The joy that once seemed so vibrant quickly disappears, leaving behind a restless heart.
This reality underscores a spiritual truth: nothing external can fill the space that belongs to God. The human soul cannot be satisfied with excess; it longs for something eternal.
In contrast to the ashes, God offers something entirely different. He promises true joy to those who yearn for and seek Him wholeheartedly.
This joy is not a fleeting emotion but a gift from the Spirit of God—a peace and joy that endure and sustain. The Bible likens this reward to a crown, symbolizing dignity and victory.
Therefore, this Ash Wednesday presents a clear choice: to exchange ashes for the crown of true joy.
This Wednesday marks the conclusion of the 7 Days of Spiritual Battle at The Universal Church, with a special meeting at 7 PM. Additional times available are 10 AM and 4 PM.
This day can represent the start of a new chapter. The decision lies with each individual: to hold on to the ashes or to exchange them for the crown of true joy.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious beliefs or background. Come as you are. For more information, please call 1-888-332-4141or text 1-888-312-4141.
