The Lord offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss.
That’s where he restores and revives my life. Psalm 23:2-3 TPT

Today’s writing is part of the Five Minute Friday link up. Join us by writing for five minutes every Friday. Here goes…

This familiar Psalm is one I have quoted since I memorized it as a child. I love the freshness of this translation.

Do you need to be restored? Then you need to go back to the best times when you felt the presence of the Lord in your life.

Restoration is rooted in love

You can only be fully restored when you know your identity and how much your Heavenly Father loves you.

Restoration comes when you rest

When you are exhausted, nothing makes sense. My sweet little Mom (now with Jesus) used to say, “That most spiritual thing I can do right now is take a nap.” Follow her advice.

Restoration results from peace

Find a place of peace. Where is yours?

STOP
