Torn To Healing

Hosea 6:1


"Come, let us return to the LORD
For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

*
God is in control of our lives -- good or bad. Our trust in Him will be to
know that if He allowed bad to happen, He can also reverse that and restore
wholeness into our lives.

As I reflect on how I had felt that my life had been torn up, I was overwhelmed
by confusion as to why these things happened. But God did bring me to a point
of recognizing that even if I were torn up, He can restore me when I genuinely
return to Him. Adam and Eve did not repent and return to God after they
committed sin, thus the broken relationship had not been healed then. However,
God's desire is still the same -- to heal us into complete restoration.
