*2025; Behold, I do a new thing......* *Restoring broken relationships* *Celebrating Restoration and Renewal* _Scripture_ 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" _Reflection_ Celebrating restoration and renewal is an essential part of the restoration process. This verse reminds us that in Christ, we are new creations. The old has gone, and the new has come. When we experience restoration in our relationships, we can celebrate the new beginnings and the renewed relationships. _Additional Scripture_ - Revelation 21:5 - "He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!' Then he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'" - Psalm 30:11-12 - "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever." _Prayer_ Dear Lord, I celebrate the restoration and renewal that You have brought into my relationships. Thank You for making all things new and for giving me new beginnings. Help me to continue to nurture and cultivate these renewed relationships. _Action Step_ Take time to reflect on the progress you've made in restoring your relationships. Celebrate the successes and the new beginnings. Consider doing something special to mark the occasion, such as: - Writing a letter or making a phone call to the person involved in the restored relationship - Doing something symbolic, like releasing balloons or planting a tree, to represent the new beginnings - Sharing your testimony with others to encourage and inspire them _Questions for Reflection_ - What are some ways I can continue to nurture and cultivate my restored relationships? - How can I use my experience of restoration to help others who may be struggling with broken relationships? - What are some potential challenges or obstacles that I may face in maintaining my restored relationships, and how can I overcome them? *Destiny Discipleship Ministries* *Maximizing God's Given Potential*
