Spring 2019 Newsletter
Dear friend, Talk to many women today, and you’ll hear recurring themes of overload, stress, and persistent weariness. The responsibilities we bear can leave us physically fatigued, longing to get away from it all. As important as physical rest and breaks may be, I’m convinced that one of the biggest reasons we struggle to handle the rigors of day-to-day responsibilities is that our spirits are weary; our souls are in need of restoration. The remedy isn’t necessarily found in a vacation but in spending time in God’s presence. The Hebrew word translated “restore” in Psalm 23 is a word most often translated “return” in the Old Testament. It speaks of God’s people returning to Him and of God returning to His people. The implication is that He restores our souls back to their resting place—in Him—by means of His Word and His Spirit. For “times of refreshing . . . come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:20). At Revive Our Hearts, it’s our desire to help you enter into God’s presence and find new life in Him. That’s why our radio programs and podcasts, blogs, events, Bible studies, and other resources point you to God’s Word as the source of true refreshment. To help you take that a step further, we’re hosting Revive ’19: Seeking HIM on September 27– 28. By attending this conference either LIVE or through a LOCAL event, you’ll be challenged to open God’s Word, discover the joy of personal revival, and be refreshed. Thank you for your continued partnership in this ministry. It’s because of you that women around the world are able to experience more of Jesus and His transforming power. It’s our prayer that they—and you—would be filled with His Spirit, receive fresh stores of His grace, and go out and serve Him with joy. Blessings,
