Restoration Power

Job:14:7- 9 “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs like a plant.”

Our God is a mighty God! 'He is mighty to save' He is the repairer of the Breach, and he restores to us straight paths to walk on and gives a new start to all who have reached the end of the road and the end of all hope.. He makes the crooked places straight and smooths out the rough places for anyone who will follow him . He seeks out the lost sheep and brings it back to fellowship; He lights his lamp and He seeks for the lost coins throughout the dark corners of the earth. There is no pit so deep that He can't find you and pull you out of it. There is no dungeon so dark that He can't see you and hear your prayers. Where sin abounds, Grace abounds even more! His mercy endureth forever! The sickest body is not beyond the reach of God's healing power! Jehovah Jireh is on the job. The diseased and depraved mind can be healed and restored by the washing of the water of His word, the cleansing power of The Blood Of Jesus, and the regenerating power of his Holy Spirit. His mercies are new every morning, and His his manna is our daily bread. He brings us water from the rock, and his rivers reach the driest and most remote wilderness. His living Water flows down from His throne and refreshes all who have need of restoration and renewal. The dry and lifeless root will shoot forth green branches at the touch of The River of Life! The desert will blossom and bloom at the touch of his grace. His mercy has laid all our sins upon the Lamb Of God who died at Calvary, and made his forgiveness available to all who have sinned and come short of his glory. His abundant life is our inheritance through the power of His resurrection, which is at work in his people today.
Don't give up hope! No matter how dark the hour is. And no matter how depressed or condemned you may feel, no matter how badly you have failed, God's love is able to restore and heal you. His grace is free to all! Abundant life is God's free gift to all who will receive Him (no exceptions)! There is no one who is beyond the reach of God's love, and there is no problem or condition that He cannot heal; there is no shame or sin that He has not removed and forgiven at Calvary . There is no limit to his grace and mercy! Anyone who tries to tell you there are exceptions and conditions that limit God's reach, or that his grace and forgiveness can be somehow earned or deserved, is a liar and a deceiver. The new covenant that was ratified by Jesus' blood is the result of God's love for his creation and was initiated by Him alone. We are the beneficiaries of an incredible life that we will never deserve, but it is nonetheless freely offered in the person of Jesus Christ.
God's eternal salvation and his unlimited grace are for all time and for all people. His grace does not stop after the new birth! We don't use up our share of god's mercy when we are Born Again! We continue in his grace, and are not disqualified by our failures and breaches of the law. We are now under the perfect law of liberty. And we are freely forgiven by the precious blood of Jesus, our eternal sacrifice for sin. Nothing can separate us from the love of God!
