Life IS... Allowing God to Restore You

How do you get to a place where you allow God to restore you in areas where you feel empty truly?  It's a process.  There are layers of things that have happened to get you to this place of emptiness.  For the past eleven days, you have been on this journey pulling back layers of things that have potentially held you back from being all that God wants you to be.  Now that you have prayerfully dealt with the residue of your past, you are now standing before the Father as an empty vessel, asking him to feel you up and restore you to a healthy place,  Restore your mind, body, and spirit.

As you go forth, trust Him when He says in Deut. 31:6 that "He will never leave you nor forsake you." I know for some of you, trust is not easy because of the pain and trauma that has been like a permanent fixture in your life. But I believe you have been in that place long enough, and God wants to restore you. He says in John 10:10, "I come that they might have LIFE and that they may have it more abundantly."  This is your time for RESTORATION!

Reflection:

Release - make up your mind that you will release everything and or everybody that has held you back so far in life.

Examine - what is your state of mind based on the pain and trauma you have been  dealing with

Seek - God for guidance on how to deal with your feelings

Transfer - give it ALL to God and do not pick it back up.

Overcome - don't be a prisoner of your past.

Rebuild -  and to give you the faith to withstand whatever comes your way

Evolve - you are now on the road to become the person God created you to be

Prayer:

Father, thank you for being a God of restoration.  Even when I mess up, you love me enough to not hold it against me.  Thank you for wiping the slate clean and letting me start over again.  Today is a new day. In Jesus' name, Amen.
