So what is all this saying to us brothers (and sisters)?  I believe it is saying that:

1.  If we recognise our broken helplessness and turn to Jesus then he can begin the work of restoration in us by the following:

2. Forgiving our sins.

3. Providing emotional healing.

4. Providing strengthen to walk as sons of God made in His image.

5. Providing us with a forever testimony of his Grace and Mercy.

6. Reminding us of our stewardships responsibility towards our homes.

7. Empowering us to do or continue our home work in the healing, nurturing and restoration of the hearts and relationships of our wives and children, sibling and parents. 

Point of warning!

However, something we must note is that unless we recognise our brokenness and seek restoration, none of the above will be achieved. Whoever, you may be whatever your past story, Jesus can help you reframe your perceptions and restore you to the right relationship with himself.  The Lord can then educate, empower, enlighten, equip and encourage you to go to your home, and to do your homework and so cause others to know of the healing Grace and Mercy of our Lord through your actions, your words, your attitudes and your love.   This, may not be easy, you may need to read good books on emotional healing, you may need to seek spirit led counselling, you may need to ask another Spirit led brother for some help, but whatever you do, you will need to do your own personal work so that your homework can be more effective.  Yet be assured, as the Spirit of God reveals heaven’s grace in your own life, he will empower you to learn new ways to show grace to your loved ones and so do some great homework for his glory and your own peace and contentment. So why not start your homework now?
