Rejuvenation

Recently I was walking past a derelict building site on the other side of town and noticed how many weeds and plants and grass had grown there. It’s amazing isn’t how quickly nature reclaims land for itself if man does not interfere. It doesn’t seem to matter what we do to the environment, we can build on it or poison it, but ultimately it is still able to recover, and still becomes part of the natural world again, part of God’s creation. An example of the power of God in the world.

An example to of what the power of God can do for us. Nothing that we can do to our relationship with Him is irreparable. We can build walls between him and us, and he will build a bridge for us to cross if we want. We can poison our relationship with God by our negligence or by our sin, but His forgiveness is eternal and the offer of it is never taken back. God’s love is able to repair any damage we can possibly do. Therefore do not think that anything in your past or present is too big an obstacle to a relationship with him. His powers of rejuvenation are unstoppable and he will reclaim us as his own if we don’t interfere with his healing process.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
