Healing & RestorationSample

God is willing to fix it

If something breaks these days, it’s far more likely we’ll just buy a new one than repair what fell apart. Washing machine? The cost of repair is too much. Shirt torn? A new one is cheaper. When humans need fixing, though, God looks at the situation very differently. The ‘cost’ of seeing us repaired or restored isn’t too much – God wants to do the work.

Restoration is one of the most beautiful promises of God. In the midst of brokenness, whether in our hearts, relationships, or circumstances, God offers a powerful promise: He will restore us. In Joel 2:25, God says, ‘I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.’ This verse speaks to God’s heart to heal, rebuild, and bring new life, no matter what we’ve lost. Restoration is not just about fixing what’s broken – it’s about bringing something even better from what remains. God’s restoration is full of grace and mercy, and He works in ways that often exceed our expectations.

In the process of restoration, there’s often pain and waiting. Just as a broken bone takes time to heal, the restoration of our hearts and lives can be a journey. But in that waiting, God is working. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, ' The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.’ He draws near to us, offering His comfort and strength as we wait for His healing touch.

Restoration may take time, but God’s promise remains: He is faithful to restore, renew, and bring us back to fullness. No matter where we are or what we’ve experienced, God can make all things new.
