The true repair of a relationship is an indescribable feeling. Some have experienced this and some haven\u2019t; some haven\u2019t had the need to rebuild a relationship on this level. But God will restore a relationship lost through simple miscommunication or deep hurt. The one point that has rang true to me through this entire book has more to do with not what God can do for us. \u00a0It has to do with what we will allow Him to do. \u00a0<\/span>He has written in His word that He is capable, willing, and does great and wonderful things in our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Will we let Him into our lives and hearts and open ourselves to the healing He has ready for us?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve worked as in the hospice field for a little over 3 years now and as a Bereavement Counselor for a little over two. The story in these two sections is one that I have seen many times, and each time it becomes more and more beautiful. The redemption and healing of a relationship is possible. Through some of the most difficult situations and circumstances God will rebuild ties we thought were severed forever. He will mend together the pieces of our heart that we thought were not able to ever be fixed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell you this story because I want you to know that redemption is possible. Healing is possible. Ask Jesus to bring it to you and it\u2019s yours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Pray:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of healing and restoration that You offer. If any of our hearts are hardened in this area please soften them, Lord. Please open our hearts and eyes to see the work that You want to do in our lives. Help us to bring the relationships in our lives that need healing to You, Lord. Thank You for this precious gift! It is a gift to us and to those we love.<\/p>\n
