Healing and Restoration (courtesy: www.case-study.com)
God never brings us condemnation without offering us grace and healing. This is a recurring theme throughout the Bible — God wants to have an intimate
relationship with each of us, and goes out of His way to invite us into that relationship. The whole point of Nathan’s charge against David was not to punish him,
but to restore him.
There have been many parallels between this chapter of David’s life and the lives of men who have fallen into sin. Whether the man is a well-known figure like Jim Bakker
or Bill Clinton, or a common “man in the street,” we all stand on level ground at the foot of the cross. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, or where you’ve been –
God’s healing, restoring grace is available for you, just like it was for David. All you have to do is be willing to face God — and yourself — with the same painful
honesty that was David’s first step toward rebuilding his life.
Are you ready for a fresh start? Your life can be healed, restored, and rebuilt, just like David’s was. I can tell you from experience that it will not be an easy
journey, but it will be the most worthwhile venture of your entire lifetime.
Like David, you will have to be honest with God, and with yourself.
Stop trying to hide your sin behind cheap excuses and lies
Be willing to deal with and accept the consequences of your sin
Totally surrender yourself to God
Allow Jesus to come into your heart and forgive your sin
Having accepted His free gift of salvation, let Him start the process of rebuilding your life on His firm, eternal foundation.
