Restoration

Psalms 51:10-12 (NIV)

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Many of us in our lives will come to a point when we feel so far from being fixed, so tainted by what we've done and guilt ridden from our actions. It is so easy to get pulled into the mind set that we are too far from grace to be healed, too deeply immersed in our sins to be purified. It breaks our Father's heart when we allow our hearts to be weakened and starved as we are fed the lies that our sins our too great to be forgiven. God holds in His heart an infinitely deep mercy that is readily available to all who seek His grace. He desperately wants for us to run into the refuge of His heart and experience His healing grace. As we come to Him with our brokenness and impurities that heavily burden our souls, seeking His forgiveness, He creates in us a pure heart, cleansed of sin and guilt and liberated in the unfailing love of our Savior. With this pure heart beating for God's purpose within us, a steadfast spirit embedded with a deep hunger for the love of God is continually renewed within us as we seek our Lord. The presence of the Holy Spirit moves powerfully within us as we experience a deep restoration through God's merciful love. With the rhythms of grace overwhelming our souls, we cannot deny the immense joy that comes with this deep restoration. As we are deeply filled with a merciful restoration overflowing with a sustaining joy, God creates a passion in us to pursue His perfect will that is constantly at work in our lives. All we have to do is run into the refuge of the heart of our Father and allow His restoring grace to heal our burdened souls.

Come to God with anything that is weighing you down in this moment, anything that is causing your heart to break or feeding any guilt within you. Let your heart be unveiled as you bring your wounds to your Father, for He so wants for you to humbly come to Him with raw honesty. If you feel God stirring in your heart, ask Him to create in you a pure heart and restore you with His unfailing grace. Be still in this moment and take joy in His love that is at work within you.

I pray that God's restoration in your life would fill you with an uncontainable joy throughout today and relieve you of any burdens that may be weighing on your heart. Let His will fill you with a passion and purpose as you carry out your everyday tasks. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
