God Restores, To Better Than New

Good Morning!! Sin damages and breaks so many things,...people and relationships. Sometimes lives, churches, communities, marriages, and friendships are all but destroyed by it. Fortunately, for us though, God has a remedy for the ravages of sin,...it's called forgiveness.

The LORD said, "I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"
—Isaiah 43:19 (NRSV)

When God forgives sin, God restores us,...and makes us better than ever. How? He teaches us through the experience,...and helps us correct our mistakes. When we come to believe, and accept that God has forgiven and restored us, we are no longer held captive by guilt and shame. And when God repairs us, we are usually wiser, stronger, and more loving. We're ready to move forward in faith, with greater confidence.

Only God can take what is broken, and make it better than new.

Forgiving God, restore us when we fail, heal us when we are broken, renew our strength when we are weak. In Jesus' name, Amen.

"God has let us into His fellowship,...who are we to keep others out?"
