There is great importance in realizing that the journey one takes in realizing what has been essentially “destroyed”, can truly be transformed into something new, refined and refreshed. The old can be reshaped and made into something better.
Scripture paints a beautiful picture of Redemption. And how our Redeemer provides sufficient grace, forgiveness and mercy. In the ugliness of our grief, mortality and sin, He is sufficient to meet us right where we are and refine us by fire. We need God’s grace, not mans.

Ashes are a representation of something being destroyed by fire. It can be physical, or spiritual but typically represents death, destruction or the reality of sin. The bible is clear though that it can be a transitional point from ashes to a new life.
"He will bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."
