RESTORING BROKEN TREASURES

RESTORING BROKEN TREASURES

Broken treasures like the grown up little girl that was abused, or the grown up little boy that was told over and over he would never amount to anything. The single mom still in shock, that a man would jump ship, leaving her feeling worthless, while always hiding it from her children, for their sake. The girl who was  looking for love, believed lie and ended up pregnant and rejected. The boy who's greatest treasure was to hear a complement from his dad, but dad was always looking the other way. There are millions of broken treasures waiting to be restored. Let Me teach you how to restore them one at a time.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A TOWEL I CAN BORROW?
There is a inner core in My heart that cannot be defined, explained or analyzed. It is one of the biggest mysteries of the kingdom. It's an unexplainable delight in sharing at the bottom, down where the hopeless live. It's not a position of weakness because (I) knew that the Father had given all things into (My) hands, and that (I) was come from God, and went to God; [4] (I) got up from supper, and laid aside (My) garments; and took a towel, and girded (Myself). [5] After that (I) poured water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith (I) was girded." John 13:3-5 (KJV)

There is a big difference between helping someone and restoring them. You can help people from the top, but you can only restore them from the bottom. Walking, sitting, and standing day after day where they are. Hearing their heart and feeling their pain is the nucleus of compassion, the foundation of restoration. Why do you think I allowed My self to be "tempted in all points like as you are, (it was so you could have) an high priest which could be touched with the feeling of your infirmities; but yet I was without sin." Hebrews 4:15 (KJV)

No one can define the core satisfaction that comes from restoring, it's just an unexplainable feeling that rests in the heart of a servant. If something is broken and you always hate to throw it away, until your absolutely sure it can't be fixed, you have the seeds of a servant. One of the greatest thrills to a true servant heart, is his masters smile, when a broken treasure has been restored. The bigger the restoration, the bigger the smile and the greater your satisfaction. Don't ask Me to explain it, because only the servant heart knows what I am talking about. I have multitudes of broken treasures scattered all  over planet earth, with only a few restorers. "It pleased (My) Father that in (Me) should all fulness dwell; [20] And, having made peace through the blood of (My) cross, by (Me) to reconcile (restore) all things unto himself;... whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Colossians 1:19-20 (KJV)  

What a thrill when you see restored laughter coming from the once depressed person, because you walked a mile with them in their shoes and loved them unconditionally. Their laughter brings a joyful weeping deep in your soul, an unspeakable joy that will cause you to give your last dollar to repeat it. "You have loved righteousness You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, even Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions." Hebrews 1:9 (AMP)

The washing of feet is only a test, to see if you can reach servant hood. If you are not able, then you will never have My heart and you will remain outside the kingdom. "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. [15] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. [16] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him." John 13:14-16 (KJV)

If you have a servant heart, you will look for opportunities to restore, and  "IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also. [2] Bear (endure, carry) one another''s burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking in your obedience to it." Galatians 6:1-2 (AMP)

The simple daily prayer of a true servant is this: FATHER LEAD ME TO ONE OF YOUR BROKEN TREASURES TODAY, that I might begin the restoration process. Just remember, "weeping may endure for a night, (while you suffer with them) but joy cometh in the morning (when you  see them restored) " Psalm 30:5 (KJV) The reward of a true servant heart.
