Born for Restoration

Born for Restoration is about my life. "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you, and before
you came out of the womb I set you apart" (Jeremiah 1:5, ISR).
Psalm 23 is a song sung about a life starting and experiencing the tests of discovering our
purpose and who is with us as we go through the birth canal until eternity.
1. I am convinced that even before I was in my mother's womb the Lord was my Shepherd;
with Him I never experienced lack.
2. He instructed me in the comfort of the womb to lie down in green pastures as He spoke to
me throughout my journey. I was guided beside still waters parting the way into this world. The
river of life spoke through the Lord as a Spirit of comfort and calm embraced me.
3. Leaving the comfort of mercy (Heb: Rachem=womb) when I entered the world and made
wrong choices the Lord turns back my being; He leads me on the cycles of righteousness. This
was the beginning of my restoration birth. I was told this journey is not just about you, but you
are a voice telling people who I am. I learned His name, and this was one of the most important
aspects of this message.
4. As I ran my race then walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I did not fear
because He told me I did not give you a spirit of fear. I gave you a spirit of love and power
through my Spirit and a steadfast mind toward Me. I Am with you. The Lord disciplined me
when I needed it, and that was a comfort because He was all about preserving my life as any
good Father desires.
5. I recognized the tables as the tablets He set before me in the presence of my enemies. These
commandments were needed, so I looked at them and not the faces of my enemies. As time
continues, this journey with the Lord of Restoration sets me apart by anointing my mind and
my life overflowing with a desire to listen and obey His Word and influence others to consider
this journey of restoration.
6. As a result of repentance, only goodness and loving commitment follows me. And now I
know my journey is to dwell in the house of the Lord to the length of days!
