God's heart for restoration

Even though God knew that the Israelites would turn away from Him after they settled in the Promised Land, His heart was for restoration:

Deuteronomy 30:4-6 NIV
Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back. He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.

I love that He promised to make them even more prosperous.  God is so good at restoring us above and beyond the original state that, from our perspective, we might think that He intended it that way all along. 

Heavenly Father, thank you for your restoration and healing.  May I be an agent of your restoration.  I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
