1 Peter 2:5 - "You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
Have you walked or driven by houses that are empty and run down? Some of these houses were beautiful when they were occupied, but now they seem beyond repair and restoration. No one wants to restore them.
Some people appear that way. They came into the world created by God to be whole. Then circumstances: such as hurt, both emotional and physical cause them to shut down. They shut down their feelings to avoid more hurt. Their spirits are broken and destroyed. Can they be restored? Can their spirits ever be healed?
Jesus can heal wounded spirits and repair our damaged lives. To restore a house may be to costly, but the high price of restoration of our lives was paid in full by Jesus our LORD and Savior. Jesus the Master Carpenter whose work is always of highest quality can and will restore our spirits.
If you haven't watched the movie Joshua it speaks to this devotional. I recommend it for your viewing.
