Restoration and Renewal: God has not left you

Sin did not erase the image of God in us––but it did distort it. Like a shattered mirror, the reflection is still there, yet fractured and incomplete. We remain His image bearers, but we stand in desperate need of restoration.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23)
“We… are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory.”(2 Corinthians 3:18)
The Gospel does more than forgive sin––it begins the restoration of the image itself. In Christ, we are not only made right with God, we are being reshaped to resemble His Son. This is not self-improvement. This is Spirit-driven transformation.
Even in your lowest, most fallen moments, God’s image in you has not vanished. Through His Spirit, He is patiently repairing what was broken––day by day, decision by decision, from glory to glory.
You are not too shattered to shine again after failure. Redemption is already restoring you.
Pray for Restoration and Renewal: Jesus,I see the ways sin has fractured and distorted my life, yet I believe You are the Restorer of all things—including me.Shape me again into Your likeness. Help me trust that I still bear Your image and that Your grace is greater than every failure.In Your name, amen.
