The word “restore” appears 136 times throughout the books of the Bible. 

To restore something or someone, it must be broken...  Many of us may have experienced broken, tattered, or wounded hearts in our life. 

Life and Love are a beautiful gift, from our heavenly Father and are meant to be shared. We are the ones that can not seem to get out of our own way. Egos, Power, and Self play a major part in the destruction, it can erode our world, our hearts, and our relationships. 

Let’s look to the Book that seems to hold the wisdom that has withstood the test of time. Many of these books we know as the Bible are tattered and worn from use. But has the importance of the message they hold actually been digested? Has the message taken residents in the hearts of the readers?

Restoration is a theme that runs rampant in scripture and teaches the love of God. What I find most puzzling though, is most of us call on God only when they seek to restore their immediate problem or need ... We want Him to immediately fix our problems!!  

I think we should look to solidify and restore our love with the Father of Love, His amazing, beautifully gifted Son Yashua, and the mysterious yet loving Holy Spirit. Are we lukewarm with our love? Do we only seek them when we have a need? I am a firm believer that we should work diligently to restore our divine relationship with Him all of Him. 

This restoration takes time, it takes effort on our part. It will be the most significant, the most rewarding, most loving relationship one could ever dream of.  It will bring uncontrollable joy. It will bring peace, it will bring a love that defies our human understanding. 

The secret is once this relationship is restored... So many other things in your life will be restored hope, patience, and a love for others. The list is endless... 

Your heart will be free to love Him out loud. I say seek Him! Find Him... and restore the most important part of this love relationship. You may find that it has been you that may have been missing!  Because He has never wavered in His love for you. Make Him your heart's desire... your life will take on new meaning!!! He wows me!! 

It’s Him. It’s always Him!!

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. PSALMS 51:12

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. Joel 2:25
