The Kingdom of God Restores what was Lost.

John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)."

God's will for us is always good! He knows how to make things turn around for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

No matter what difficulties we have faced in life, God is the restorer! Joel 2:25 says, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locusts have eaten."

If we desire to experience God's restoration in our lives, we must learn to follow His leading and live in obedience to His Word.

The story of Ruth is a beautiful one of how God can change the direction of a nation, a people, a family and theindividual. When Ruth chose to remain faithful to Naomi and the God of Israel, she was given the opportunity and instruction to receive a whole new way of living. Ruth went from being a widow without hope, to a woman married to an honourable man, and part of the lineage of king David and Jesus Christ.

It was when Ruth chose to be faithful that God was able to work in her life.

Sometimes, in our own journey, we can become disheartened. People disappoint us, situations and circumstances change, and we feel forgotten and hopeless, but it's important to remember in those times the truth of God's goodness. It's in those times when we feel like giving up that we must instead look to the Restorer! Look to the One who knows the end from the beginning, to look to the One who came to give us life! When we get our attention off the situation and feelings and instead praise God and stir up ourselves in our faith, that's when we are in a position for God to work in our lives.

I encourage you today to refuse to allow the hurts and disappointments of the past to become your expectations in life. Instead, put God's praises in your mouth and worship Him with all your heart. He's working behind the scenes for your good! Simply follow Him and His ways, and you will experience His goodness in your life, step by step.

Remember, we love you, and we are praying for you.

Blessings,
