It seems like this is one of the things that I've run up against a few times over the past year or two. There was this question: "is full restoration possible." Is God able to heal? Is God able to redeem and restore my past? Am I ever going to __________ ? Insert whatever impossibility you face.
Many times there is something that happens in life which forces me to confront what I believe about my answer to those questions. I'm not talking so much about the theology in my mind. The knowledge of correct answers don't necessarily mean I believe them in my heart, if you know what I mean.
And in times, there are times when I am discouraged. There are times I get frustrated, tired, and feel like I'm ready to give up. Many times my doubts push me into some really difficult places.
But there is something that I think has become deeply rooted in me - and it's something that I always end up being able to fall upon in times of questioning: I don't have a say in who God is! God says and does what He wants! Doubt His goodness? That's fine, but you are wrong, so give it up! (this is what I tell myself).
In this season, I'm glad for God's character. I'm thankful He never gives up. He is wholeness - He is completion. Full restoration? Yes. Without question.
