Restored

BIBLE THOUGHT: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1st Peter 2:24, NIV)

It is surprising what you can learn from your mistakes. We discovered in January that our youngest son, Benjamin could not bend his pinky after severing the tendon with a knife in October while carving pumpkins.

Two surgeries followed, one on March 1st to remove the tendon and the second on June 21st to replace the tendon with one from Benjamin’s left foot.

I am amazed at what the doctor did to restore functionality to a ruined finger. When the healing process is done, Benjamin’s finger will work as it did originally. I am thankful for a doctor who has the skill to perform such a surgery.

I am also thankful for God and His Son who restore us after we have broken our lives with sin.
John the Baptist asked if Jesus was the one to come in Luke 7: 20. And Jesus replied: "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."

I found a good physician to heal my son’s wounds and the Bible tells me about the Great Physician that will restore me to what He intended me to be.
