--RESTORE POINT~~ JESUS!

--"LORD JESUS, help us to keep our hearts pure and clean toward You and
toward others. May we always be open to your Presence and leading in our lives.
We praise you and bless You, our Lord, Savior and Redeemer. In Christ's Name ~ amen"

--"If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come;
The old has gone, the new is here! Praise Jesus! ~
--(2 Corinthians 5:17) --

--This morning my computer was not working properly It's old so I'm patient with it, but the screen saver was suddenly different, and all of my emails had disappeared. I remembered that our son had showed me how to create a "restore point," a technique to restore settings on a computer to prior time. So I did that, and my screen saver was restored to the current version--and the emails reappeared!

I sometimes wish for a "restore point" in my personal life. Relationships tht once were good can go sour with a single negative encounter that leads to bitterness, resentment, and division. I long to go back to when that relationship was positive and good and satisfying.

Our Lord Jehovah God does that for us. Through His death and resurrection, Christ reconciled us, bringing us into communion with God. We serve God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are One. When I foul things up with a negative word or act or thought, ugliness builds like a darkening sky on a stormy day. But by God's grace He is always with me (and all believers). He is able to restore my Spirit to a place of peace and hope and love. I can choose to confess my wrongdoing to the other person and to God, then ask for forgiveness and for God's help to see the good in the person I am at odds with. Often for me, this is a daily process to restore communion with others and with God. Thanks be to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I can be restored. ~~
