RESTORATION


Hosea 6:1



“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up."

 
This life and our existence is, no doubt, a journey.  From the womb to the grave GOD is revealing the plan he has chosen for us and we are moving through each day living and responding to the situations GOD is placing upon us.  We wonder what the next chapter will hold, or why GOD has allowed us to experience pain and loss.  But GOD is preparing us for His work in this fallen world.  You see since the fall GOD has had you (and everyone else) on His mind and began a work of redemption that included sacrificing his own Son to pay debt that sin had caused.  GOD ultimate goal is to restore us and show us he loves us.  This world and our passage through it are a story and journey of restoration.

With that said, every moment and situation of your life are points of transition. God is pulling, tearing, and knocking us down in order to build us up bigger and stronger than before.  This action is a vision of the transition and transformation that awaits all who love him in the world to come.

I want you to go through every storm knowing that your pain has a purpose.  I want you to realize that your hardships are part of a plan.  Even death will lead to a new existence.  So if you are in the middle of a storm or life altering chapter in your life, remember when you are getting torn apart, or knocked down, GOD will build you back up.   God will heal you and restore you. 

 

I love you always and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
