But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

RESTORATION

Whenever God restores something, He restores it to a place greater than it was before. -Bill Johnson

So often when we think of the word ‘restoration’, we think of it as the process of something being brought back to its former condition or glory.

However, when it comes to the Bible, the word ‘restoration’ often refers to a process of being made better than it was before. Being made new, not being made as it was. How often do we pray for God to restore a relationship, life or situation, and expect it to go back to the way it was? How often do we limit God to what we know, rather than see Him as God who is working to make things new, and even greater than before?

Through these devotionals you’ll discover God’s plan for restoration in our lives, our world and our hearts. A plan that is good and perfect and beyond our imagination.

Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’

DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS

Never underestimate the power of a conversation. - Anonymous

We have all been in one of ‘those’ conversations that challenges us and makes us uncomfortable. Maybe it was aggressive, or filled with anger or condescension. Maybe it was a conversation you knew you would never win or resolve.  

However, as Christians we are called to be the light of Christ in the world and that includes in our conversations. So how do we approach these conversations with non-Christians and Christians. How do we display Christ and His love in these moments?

This week we’ll explore these questions. As you read through this week’s devotions, may you be encouraged, challenged and equipped to step into these conversations with confidence and the ability to navigate your conversations in a way that glorifies God and points others to Him.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

UNITE IN HOPE

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together. -Corrie Ten Boom

Our world is chaotic. When we turn on the news or scroll through social media, it’s all full of images and stories of division, disunity, injustice and conflict. If ever there was a time where the church needed to unite together, this is it!

However, to achieve unity we must reconcile our differences and hold to the truth we all know and carry – Jesus Christ – the only hope of the world.

Through this week’s readings we pray that not only will you be encouraged but that the words will inspire you to look for ways to unite in hope with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, to continue to build God’s Church, and to shine His light in a world of darkness.
