Rebuilding Our Shattered Lives

Our money plant is durable and easy to maintain. However, occasionally, diseases come and the leaves turn yellow. 

At least on two separate occasions in the past, we had brought it down to ground zero.  

Everything above the soil had to go. Soon new green shoots emerge. These new plants are luscious, green and healthy.

Like this plant that needs rebuilding, the Lord painstakingly rebuilds and restores us when we lose our luster and shine. 

God will never leave nor forsake us. He lovingly rebuilds our shattered lives. He always sees the best in us.

God restores all that the locusts and cankerworms had eaten. He blesses us till we burst at the seams. He assures us that we are in His good hands.

We do not lament over the lost days. We not not lament over the lost months. We do not lament over the lost years. God is faithful. He brings restoration and hope.

Our God who is faithful and merciful. He sees us through every life challenge. When we surrender our lives completely to Him, He turns our lives around. He is God of the second chance.

He shines and polishes us till we are fit for display. We are His masterpieces. We are His priceless possessions. Lord, thank You for rebuilding our broken lives.
