There is no brokenness that God is not able to restore.
When we want to encourage our friends, this phrase is true. Yet, when it concerns us and a deep feeling of regret moves us, we often wonder if God can really make all things work together for the good of those who love him.
Angie Smith is a person quick to encourage her friends, but she found it hard to believe that God could do anything extraordinary with all of her disappointments and brokenness.
The image of my life as a vase was beautiful to me, but at the same time, it was painful to observe all the cracks. I stroked it with my fingers noticing the damage and told God how much I wished everything was different. I wish I had always loved him, always obeyed him, always sought him as I should have. I was furious at the imperfections, the wasted years, the gaping holes that could have been avoided.
But God, my God of infinite grace, while recognizing me guilty, was gentle with me.
With Restored, you will see how faith lived in each event of your daily life participates in the creation of the redemptive image of God in your life and in those of the people around you. Your life makes a difference – by the way the Lord magnifies Himself in the cracks.
