From the Psalms, we read alot about our soul, but the most famous and well-known one is: Psalm 23:1-3
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; 3 He restores my soul...
I like to watch the TV show, "American Restoration". Owner, Rick Dale is an expert restorer of classic objects and artifacts. Rick has built his career on an unbridled passion and unique skill for transforming the rustiest and most beat-up items into like-new products that can fetch a big price tag. He doesn't shy away from a challenge and has worked on items as varied as a beaten-down 1940s gas pump, a rusted-out 1950s soda machine and a classic jukebox with a complex mechanical design, upping the value by restoring them to mint working condition.
God wants to do the same with us. At times, we may feel as though we are just a hunk of junk, rusted out, beaten up, dented, damaged, ready to fall apart - but God is passionate about restoring our soul back to its original mint condition. God is in the process of making all things new. (Revelation 21:5). This not only includes creation (the heavens and the earth) but includes our very soul (our being, life).
God is the Master Restorer and just like Rick Dale, He has an eye for seeing the value in each one of us - even though we have not yet been fully completed. (Phil. 1:6). Allow God to restore your soul. Get a glimpse of how much He cares for you by reading Psalm 139. Each one of us has value in His eyes (even though we might not feel it or see it) - but then again all we have to do is look at the cross.
