These last 3 weeks we have been talking about restoration, of the God who wants to remain in your heart, of how to make manifest our restoration. Until then I hope you have been blessed by the grace of God; and if you haven’t been able to read the previous articles, they are still available, you can go take a look after this article.
Today I would like to tell you why God wants to restore you in this season, at least I will give you some reasons because there are many.
- FOR LOVE
John 3v16 «For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. »
God sacrificed his son so that you could not only have life but life in abundance; there are so many promises given to us in Jesus at the cross when he shed his blood to save us. And among these, we have the promise of restoration. By the way, the word saved comes from the Greek word sozo (sode’-zo). This word literally means « to be whole in our body, soul and spirit. » I don’t know if you understand, there is a tendency to limit the word salvation to the ‘’access to the kingdom of heaven’’; but I come to tell you that the salvation you have received makes you complete, whole. When I found out about this, it just blew my mind. Out of love for you, shedding his blood for you, dying at The Cross of Golgotha for you, enduring humiliation and detachment with the Father for you, He restored you. It is a gift that He gave you, because He loves you with all his heart, like no one has ever loved you. Despite your mistakes,even if you are the reason for your own wounds by your actions, He loves you and restores you. He knew the road was not going to be easy, He knew that your life will be strewn with pitfalls, that there will be times when you make the wrong choices; but He still said I will send my son to save my people whom I love and whom I have chosen. Oh if you could know what the breadth, and how long, how deep, and how high, and know the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge, that you would be filled to all the fullness of God.
The love of God is sufficient for you, the love of God restores you, makes you complete, it is this love that fills the void that you were so trying to fill with various measures. If only we let him touch us, if only we surrendered completely in his love, letting ourselves be filled to fullness.
It is for love that He restores you. BY LOVE.
I will add this: « You who are trying to do good works, to be a good person to gain the love and affection of God, I just want to tell you today God already loves you. Don’t try to win something that you’ve already given to you «
Finally let go of those things you wanted to take refuge in and decide to accept the love of God that restores. It may not be easy but just make the first step He will do the 99 others. SURRENDER SURRENDER SURRENDER TO HIM.
- [] 2 The world needs you
Matthew 5:13 »You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its flavor, what will it be used for? It only serves to be thrown out and trampled on by men. We are what gives the earth its flavor; imagine eating food without salt, ’blandness’ ’, so is the earth without you and me. The tasteless salt is you and I inactive, not doing what we were created to do. God knew us before the foundation of the world and He had already made plans for us on this earth; you have a role to play here below. You are the ingredient the world needs to regain its flavor. You don’t need to be called to be a projected evangelist pastor etc to be useful; it was for you and me. We all have a destiny to fulfill, and in this walk towards and in your destiny, you will see how much you are a blessing to those around you. Matthew 5:16 « Let your light in the same way shine before men, so that they may see your fine way of doing things, and so they may celebrate the glory of your Heavenly Father. » We are there light of the world, we bring light to a world filled with darkness. Your light must shine before men, wherever you go you must be that different person through your character, your life, your works.
