Restored For Relationship Forever
August 10, 2025
Imagine a place where nothing’s broken, where relationships last, where pain doesn’t get the final word, and where we don’t have to pretend we’re okay. Deep down, we long for things to be made right. The amazing news is that this is exactly where God's story with us is headed! God is restoring everything, including us, for relationship that lasts forever.
READ
Revelation 21:1-4, Revelation 22:1-5, 2 Peter 3:13
See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and be their God; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.
REFLECT
1. What part of God’s promise of restoration gives you the deepest hope right now?
2. If you are already marked by God’s future, how will that shape the way you live today?
3. How are you being invited to you trust God in the “already but not yet” tension of the kingdom?
RESPOND
1. Set aside unhurried time to be in God’s presence and behold God's heart.
2. Offer someone in your world a tangible glimpse of God’s promised future through hope, peace, or love.
3. Consider a relationship in your life that needs repair. Take the first step, whether it’s asking forgiveness, offering grace, or opening the door to renewal.
