Gentle Restoration

It’s hard to watch someone we love start to spiral into a cycle of poor choices. Everything in us wants to tell them to snap out of it, to shake them and ask why they just can’t see that what they’re doing is wrong.

But the Bible says that we should restore them gently. In love. The very definition of the word restore is to repair. To properly repair something, you must take care to give it the support it needs. You can’t just slap a nail on a broken cabinet and expect it to hold up. It may work for a while, but without taking all the necessary steps to bring it back to its original condition, it will only deteriorate once again over time.

Do you know someone who needs restoration? Ask God to show you how you can gently support them through it. Pray for protection for yourself so that you will not fall into the same trap.
