"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord"- Acts 3:19 (NIV).
God is in the restoration business. He binds up the brokenhearted, He breaks the chains of the captive, He carries the weak and weary, He vindicates the persecuted, He forgives the sinner; then, He sets them free. We were born to be free. Free will gives us the choice to continue with God or to return to our old sinful patterns; but, God is ever watchful for the return of the prodigal. He will not tire of watching nor restoring: "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23). The sun rose this morning with God's faithfulness shining brightly. Yearn for times of refreshment, turn to Him and know, restoration only comes from the Lord.
