Now on to restoration. Being restored, restored into the person God intends for you to be.
We sin. We repent. Then we let God cover us in His grace to restore us. I think this might be the most difficult part. At least for me personally.
Sinning seems to be the easiest part. When we don't abide in God's way but our own. We then recognize our sin and repent and turn away. Then we look to Jesus to wash that blood stain away and cleanse us white as snow.
But do you ever feel guilty? Like you are not good enough to be cleansed of your sins? I know I do. I struggle with this immensely. This is when you need to speak truth over yourself. Stop believing the lie the devil is putting in your head.
Take that guilt to the Lord because loved one, you are worthy. Worthy of His grace.
Let Him restore you.
Restoration breeds hope, joy, and freedom. It's the promise that one day, in spite of my circumstances or my pain, God will make all things new. -- Ruthie Delk
Do not fear. Do not fret. You are good enough. He has redeemed you.
Isaiah 43:18-19 -- Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
You have repented, forget the former things that held you back. Do not dwell on your sin. But trust in God to let Him RESTORE you and do HIS NEW thing.
What is holding you back from receiving His restoration?
