God of Restoration

"Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid."
You can read the whole story of the demon possessed man in Mark 5;1-20. I find it interesting that Jesus, who sits with the sick and lost, was asked to leave a group of people because they were afraid of Him and not the now clean spirited man.  Anyways..
I am excited what God has been revealing to me this month.  He is truly a God of restoration. I know that there is nothing good that is in my sinful nature, but in my spiritual nature is a GREAT GOD!
I know that I am not who the world says that I am. I am not even someone that I think I am. No, I'm a new creature in Christ. He has taken away an unclean spirit within me that I cannot explain to you, but I can say I understand the torment that the demon possessed man experienced in the book of Mark.
I am eager to find out what all God will restore to me in the coming year. I know He isn't a Jeannie and will grant me wishes; no that is a farce. I do know that the desires of my heart He will fulfill as long as they are aligned with His desires for me. Yes, that it is. I want my desires to be His desires because I know God wants to give me the Whole Disney World.  I just want to shout for joy over what God has done in my life. I want others to know just "How Great is Our God."

I recognize that I have not shared many things that the Lord has restored and this may leave you feeling like I am not sharing my testimony. Well  the truth is that He isn't ready for me to share all that He is accomplishing in my life. When I do; it will be good, but with God it is GREAT; promise.
I want to encourage you today. If you are feeling low and left behind, you aren't. There are hurting people everywhere. I suggest you call a friend, a co-worker, a pastor, a community leader, an agency that can and is willing to talk with you. You are not alone and whatever you are going through He is with you and will see you to the other side. Hold onto the truth that is with Jesus Christ and see the waters part.
