Do you, like me, long for the “restoration of all things,” the time when God will subdue all wickedness and bring everything, everyone, and all nations into subjection to Christ? Or perhaps you are longing for restoration of situations that are nearer to hand. You have relationships in your family and extended family that need restoring. You need marriage restoration.
The final restoration is coming, but God is also restoring NOW. He is the God of restoration and wants to heal estranged relationships.
Don’t ever give up. Keep praying. Ask God to show you how you can break down barriers and walls. Ask Him to give you a soft heart and forgiving spirit. God is the ultimate Restorer, but He wants you to be involved too.
Isaiah 58: 12 says that you will be called: “The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.”
Do some restoration work today. I love the line that you will read in the coming Above Rubies magazine which is in the Post Office now. It says:
“Win the marriage, not the argument.” It’s such a good line to remember. What do you gain by winning an argument and losing the precious communion and relationship in your marriage? You don’t gain anything; you lose! So aim to win by building, repairing, and restoring.
