We have been created in His image, but our sins have caused us to miss the mark, our transgressions have led us to excesses, our rebellions have distanced us from His care, and our iniquities still affect our generations by reproducing what is crooked.
Our identity has been distorted, and our authority and rest have been stolen.
It is time to restore it all!
“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” (Psalms 23:3)
“I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” (John 12:46)
If we stop for a moment and enter into His rest, we allow His light and voice to guide us.
When we stop, we can listen, and the Father draws us to Him with His cords of love.
As we draw closer, His light increases, His voice becomes clearer, and His precious presence envelops us, then He begins to shape our lives because we have returned to the potter’s table in HIS HANDS AND CARE.
There, He restores the damage and begins to create the design He prepared for us.
“and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. ” (Colossians 3:10)
“For the LORD is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches.” (Nahum 2:2)
In His hands, we go from the old to the new nature as Jacob is transformed into Israel. All things are made new, and we are renewed in the image of the perfect man.
Let us enter together into His rest, let us allow His voice, His love, His hands, and His gaze to restore us, leaving us better than new.
