Let’s take a look on JEREMIAH 33:6-9 and see how good and faithful God is —
GOD HEALS. “Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem’s wounds and give it prosperity and true peace.” v.6
Healing comes from God alone and it will only happen in His most perfect time. But before healing there comes surrender, before mending of brokenness there comes testing of faithfulness. Be faithful to surrender to the Lord.
GOD RESTORES. “I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their towns.” v.7
God is the God of restoration, of resets, of rebuilding. He will surely bring back what has been stolen. He can rebuild what has been destroyed. In Him, you can restart your messy life again, and reset your prayer & devotion life. He has the power to restore you, but are you willing?
GOD FORGIVES. “I will cleanse them of their sins against me and forgive all their sins of rebellion.” v.8
God is a forgiving God. Our sins may be too great but when we repent, He can forgive us, and purify our hearts once again. He can forgive us even in our most sinful act, most harsh words, and most unhealthy thoughts. He can make you a “new person” again with no label of sin. He can give you “new beginnings” “new life”. He can do that for you. That is the power of His love. 😢
GOD IS GOOD! “Then this city will bring me joy, glory, and honor before all the nations of the earth! The people of the world will see all the good I do for my people, and they will tremble with awe at the peace and prosperity I provide for them.” v.8-9
...and in everything that He does, it is all for His glory and not yours. His goodness and faithfulness should always be highlighted in your life. You are forgiven, cleansed, loved and restored not because you are worthy or you deserve it but because God is good & gracious.
For even in our darkest times, in our most sinful act, in our most shameful moment, God has never stopped being good. 😭🙌🏻
