He fights for you when others have counted you out. He offers restoration when others offer only condemnation. He refuses to give up on you even when you've given up on yourself. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=10341 2010-08-25T16:22:06-05:00 There are two ways of responding to life’s hurts and unfair experiences. We can either become a debt collector, or we can choose the pathway of restoration and reconciliation. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos%209:11-12&version=NIV 2009-08-04T15:01:40-05:00 The idea of restoration runs through the entire Bible. Here, the prophet Amos prophesies that God will restore His chosen people from their despair and their fallen state. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Pet.5.10&version=NIV 2009-07-20T10:07:42-05:00 The Bible doesn't promise that followers of Christ will be spared suffering and difficulty--on the contrary. But what it does promise is that God will always restore us after any trial that we undergo.

There's something, or someone, that our enemy Satan has stolen. And your Lord wants you to fight to get back what your enemy has no right to have. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Getting-Back-What-You-Lost-4241 2008-08-21T15:49:48-05:00 Imagine the mess I would have been in without the passport. And I didn't even know I had lost it. There are lots of things in life like that - valuable things that we lose without ever realizing at the time what we've lost until it's too late. Treasures like your reputation, your virginity, a clean conscience, your marriage, a valued relationship, your sense of worth, people's trust in you. We did the wrong thing because of what we thought we could gain by sinning. We never realized what we would lose. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Someone-Else-s-Fault-4191 2008-08-13T15:33:20-05:00 But it's no joke that blaming someone else is, for most of us, one of our favorite ways to account for something in our life that shouldn't be there - whether it's a bad attitude, a bad habit, a bad situation, a bad relationship. http://navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781600061523 2008-05-15T12:28:00-05:00 The Reluctant Journey of David Connors A Novel
