God Can Redeem & Restore Deuteronomy 6:5-7 (NIV®)Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.Are there children in your life who need to know the Lord, but you never got around to telling them about Him? Or perhaps, you had children at home in a season when faith didn’t seem very important, and you feel like you missed your opportunity to be a godly spiritual influence on those young lives. Be assured, God can do in a moment what we failed to do in years. Have an honest conversation with the Lord. Tell Him you are sorry, and you want to do better in this season than you did in the past. Have that conversation with the children in your life that you regret not being a good spiritual influence when they were younger, but you want to do better. Our God is a master craftsman when it comes to restoration. Lay your regrets and your hopes for the children in your life at His feet, then watch what He will do.THINK ABOUT ITOur responsibility to children does not just apply to “our” children, but it extends to “the” children—all of them.PRAYERHeavenly Father, forgive me for missing opportunities to teach and watch over the children. You are a God who redeems. Grant me new freedom and boldness to stand before this generation with Your light and truth. In Jesus' name, amen. Blessings,Pastor Allen Jackson
