The Restoration of Glory

It crumbles in your hands.

The broken Iike putty in your hands.

That which was broken, restored in your hands.

The pieces of what once was whole, now reformed, now re formed in your hands.

The pottery, clay once more, ready for re formation, restoration.

For it is the power of the flow to bring forth wholeness.

The sharp pieces, the pieces with the jagged edge, the sharp edge, will not injure your hand, but be smoothed in your hand.

For this is the time of the great washing, awash with my glory, splashed by my glory, for it shall be glorious.

The shattered dream, the precious thing broken and beyond restoration. The broken dream, the forgotten dream, the hope without hope, restored by your hand.

Seriously restored by your hand, not my hand, your hand, my hand upon your hand.

For the restoration of your dream life, shall bring forth, shall burst forth a season of restoration, like a seed blossoming, like a beacon shining across the land.

A hope restored, a restoration of hope.

For I am proclaiming hope, my hope shines across the land.

For I am the antidote to disappointment, to the disillusioned, for I am not an illusion, for this is no mirage, this is a spring of hope in the desert.

For those who have lost their hope, shall find their hope again in you.

They shall be captivated by you, like the most beautiful girl that walked in the room, they will not be able to take their eyes off you.

Not held captive, but captivated, drawn, shifted from their position, distracted from their circumstance, their work, their pain, their hopelessness, to glimpse a moment of glory.

You know what I am talking about, you look back on all the snapshots of your beautiful wife, and then look over and gaze upon her beauty sitting right next to you.

For the highlights of your life, are the times, where she expresses her joy and delight, but most of all when she gives you the look of love.

Can you remember where you were? Can you tell me what else was in the room, can you recall what you were talking about?

No Lord, only that I heard the voice of an angel.

You are defined by her presence, her beauty, her majesty, her glory.

You can see it now, a silhouette of your form, with the radiance of the sun behind and beside.

For as her presence is glorious, so shall your presence be glorious to all those around.

Your fans shall come and line up to see you, and talk in glowing terms about you. They shall have a glow about them for they shall receive my glory.

Have I not called you to be the children of light, to be salt and light?

For you shall radiate my glory.

Ephesians 5:8-14 For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light lead the lives of those native-born to the Light. For the fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light orthe Spirit consists in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life. And try to learn in your experience what is pleasing to the Lord let your lives be constant proofs of what is most acceptable to Him. Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead let your lives be so in contrast as toexpose and reprove and convict them. For it is a shame even to speak of or mention the things that such people practice in secret. But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light. Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light.
