Restoration and Increase
To Restore: To bring back to an original condition. To put (someone) back in a former position. To heal, redeem, refresh, renew, revitalize, revive, strengthen
At a time when people are thinking about resolutions and changes they need to make (and too often these changes are surface changes only), I’m thinking about restoration and increase. Already this year is having a theme for me, the theme of Restoration. In just the time frame of 2 weeks I’ve had a portion of my family restored to me, my love for my husband has not only been renewed but increased as well and I feel my inner peace has been restored.
The Spirit of God has led me, not by my own will or mind, to The Principle of Restoration. Not by my hand or by my works have I been restored but by the miraculous workings of God. Our God, a God of promises (promises that He keeps), continually assures us of restoration when we seek Him passionately. Over the last few months I’ve sought him like never before and I can truly point towards Heaven and say only by His hand have I been restored.
