I Will Restore
Child of Mine, have you forgotten that I am the God of restoration?
Do you think you have messed your life up too much
For Me to fix it?
Do you think you have failed or fallen short so many
Times that I have given up on you?
Do you think that you have somehow disqualified yourself
From My good plans and purposes for your life?
Child, have you forgotten Who I am and what I have promised to do for you?
Dear one, I am able to accomplish all the things in your life that I have
Promised, if only you yield to Me.
Your enemy the devil will try to convince you that
You have messed things up, that you are not adequate, that there is no Hope.
But he is a liar and the father of lies, and you should
Not listen to him. instead, look to Me and trust Me to cleanse and purify You. Trust My indwelling Holy Spirit to transform you. trust that I can restore all things that your enemy Has stolen from you, even intInstead, look to Me and trust Me to cleanse and purify

You.

Trust My indwelling Holy Spirit to transform you.

Trust that I can restore all things that your enemy

Has stolen from you, even internal things like innocence and purity.

I am the God who makes all things new.

I am the God of restoration, and I have already decided

To work My restoration in your life.

There is no failure you can do that will stop Me from

Working My glory in your life,

If you will only believe what I am telling you and

Cooperate with Me.

My plans for you are good and I know what I have created you for.

I know what I have destined you for, and I am willing

To walk with you and empower you to move in the full measure of that destiny.

Are you still willing to walk there with Me?

All I require of you is that you have a willing and

Obedient heart.

I have not disqualified you, and I do not intend to do so.

I am willing to repair every area of your life that

Is tarnished.

It was never My intent to leave you in your difficulties

And failures;

I always planned to fully restore you.

I created you in My image to be a carrier of My glory,

And I still want to accomplish that in your life.

I am willing to work My glory and My image in you, for I am the God of

Restoration, and I am very good at what I do.

Simply present yourself to Me as a blank canvas, and

I will create a masterpiece of My glory in you, for you are Mine.

I have called you and I have chosen you and I will

Redeem everything that has gone wrong.

It is My good pleasure to bring a new level of joy

And peace and glory into your life as you turn to Me,

As you trust Me to accomplish My purposes in you and

Through you.

Child, you are Mine and I love you dearly

If atheists believe this is all there is to life, then why don't they do something more with the life they live?

Why live a life of home to work to home to work to home to work to home to work to home to work (etc, etc)?

My co worker told me that it was her duty to spread the word of god . She also said that I was on my way to hell and she felt it necessary to save me. Do all christians feel this way? Am I going to hell because my beliefs are different?

If there is, why doesn't God mention it? But then again, it is hard to believe that in the whole universe, we are the only life.

If you believe that it was created,how was it created?
I believe what is in Genesis,with a little bit added on(because I find it a bit hard to believe that every thing on the earth,being as intricate and beautiful as it is,came here because God randomly made us just like that.It seems as though he put alot of work into it.)
What do you think?

Even if he said, "BTW, those atheists were right about you just being dead when you die. Come on! Eternity in Super Happy Funland?"

Here's your shot, as nicely as possible (or as funny) tell the opposing belief how you would act towards yourself if you were to switch bodies with them for one day.

Avoid meaness please.

the bible says: God made man in his image.
If being gay is wrong, didnt God make man? So was God wrong?Or does some other being (like the devil) make gays and lesbians? wouldnt that mean this being has the same powers as God?

BTW, this question is for all those who think gays and lesbians are going to hell...

Christians: I'm sure you are all familiar with 1 Peter 3:15 (Be ready to defend your faith, etc...). My question is why do you (or to be more precise, why should I) believe Christianity is the truth?

I'm trying to find a biblical reference to Paul's conversion that's *not* the main conversion story in Acts 9. Can't find it through Bible Gateway, and I need one (if possible) for a paper I'm writing. Anyone know where it is?.

Because we can't just die, and then we never exist, that would just suck.Just because somebody says that there is a heaven dosen't mean its true, How would they know, did they talk to god. Im not saying I don't believe it but how do I know.

Muslims are people - just like you and me.
So why is it that everywhere I turn, I hear about Jihad and liberation of Israel and burqas and martyrdom, and Muslim states and Sharia law and revenge and unhappiness and suicide bombings etc.
From what I gather Christians seem to be a very loving, forgiving genre of people. Christians are also, I believe, a "fair" group of people that would.
Are Muslims not the same? Does the Muslim region not support the same general facets of Christianity?

How far do you let a friendship dwindle before saying, "Ok, that's enough. It hurts too much to see you make these choices. I can't be your friend anymore, unless you start making better choices."? Or do you just let it dwindle away into nothing?

Is our nation truly "Under God"?While the answer is obvious to some,some people have various thoughts of a God of some sort helping(or doing otherwise) America.
So,of course,I am here to hear them-oh,I mean SEE them....

Do you evaluate your life? And if so, how? By what criteria? What would you say you have done or achieved that has made your life worthwhile (or justifiable even?)
