.....the "just not meant to be" moments.... God will restore....



Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11

meeting with a sweet lady this morning and this is what I was able to tell her.... God is all about restoration... reconciliation, making whole what has been broken, damaged and tarnished..

when boundaries have been overstepped or practically trampled down, when safety was lost and a path taken that continued to lead to more and more heartache... all those times when the "it's not meant to be that way" moments have happened... God can and wants to step into each one of those..

He has come to bind up the broken-hearted.. He has come to bring peace amidst the dire circumstances,
with Him we can have joy... and no one will be able to take it away... ever......

How amazing to be able to communicate such hope.... the tremendous privilege to walk the road of restoration and healing with a New Believer... 

God is indeed GOOD... 

since God has called me to step out of my safe little bubble a few years ago I have encountered people whose lives seem so hopeless and dysfunctional.. bringing all of us at Hope for Life to our knees, praying and pleading with God to step in and help, because we feel we have NOTHING to offer...
then again, we have all to offer... we have Jesus... and that's what we have been doing...

God, who is FAITHFUL by definition, is coming through for those He has led to us... obviously He has had a plan from the beginning...
to be part of it is the most wonderful thing... allowing Him, as He transforms us, to be transformational, to be used in His plan to push back the gates of hell.... pretty cool!!!!!
