“We look at this Son see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created.” Colossians 1:15 The Message

Do they see the Original …?

Your life is based on it. Actually .. the Original is your life now. The old copy of your life was fading .. no matter how hard you tried to re-make it over and over .. no matter how hard you tried to prevent it from fading .. no matter how hard you tried to convince others otherwise. The Original never weakens or fades over time. The Message .. the Life .. the Son have stayed the same for over 2000 years. He will never fade in any life. He is in the restoration business. Your life .. the lives of those around you .. are part of His original restoration purpose. He is a patient-restorer. Jesus knows how fragile you really are and at the same time how resilient you really are. His best work in you always bears the marks of kindness. He isn’t concerned with the cost or the time it will take. He has covered both details completely in your life. Have you given the Restoring One the keys to all the rooms in your life? It doesn’t matter if you’ve lost a few unintentionally or intentionally. Some of the rooms in your life may have been closed for a long time .. purposefully. You knew you could never restore it or that the costs were too prohibitive. But Jesus does restore .. broken lives .. broken  hearts .. broken spirits.  His work is absolutely guaranteed. It only takes a moment …

“The Message is as true among you today as when you first heard it. It doesn’t diminish or weaken over time. It’s the same all over the world” Colossians 1:5 The Message
