He restores my soul.

Psalm 23:3a

God says to you,I will restore your soul. I will reach into the deepest part of your soul, to the place that nothing else can touch, and I will restore your soul. I will heal your heart. I will refresh your spirit.

You need that, don’t you?

When you are weary and burdened, you need your soul restored.

When you are overwhelmed and undone, you need your soul restored.

When you feel guilt and shame, you need your soul restored.

When you are assailed by fear and worry, you need your soul restored.

When you feel wounded and hurt, you need your soul restored.

When you feel alone and rejected, you need your soul restored.

When you feel angry and rejected, you need your soul restored.

At all of these times and more, you need God to do for you what you cannot do for yourself: heal your soul.
Nothing else can do it. Not entertainment. Not a weekend off. Not sports. Not exercise. Not television. Not a vacation. Not shopping. Not your hobby. Nothing else can restore your soul.

But the God who created the universe, the God who breathed life into Adam, he can do it. He can breathe life into your soul. He can make you alive again.

It happens when you meet with God. When you connect with God. When you draw close to God. When you get alone with God. When you gather with God’s people and worship.

Jesus, the Good Shepherd, says to you even now, “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

Christ can restore your soul.
