                      Begin Your Repairs

Isaiah 62:10  Take out the stones. Lift up a banner for the people.

Fill in the potholes of resentment, bitterness and hatred - fill them with
love, peace and joy. Repairer, begin your repairs. They are not near as
catastrophic as you believe. Trust Me, the Master Road Builder Way Maker. I
will direct your efforts, refresh your hard labor. Begin today. Do not put
it off. Take courage. I have seen the end result already. Don't be afraid.
You will be richly rewarded and surprised at your progress and efficiency.
Today begin. Confess your sins to Me and to trusted fellow travelers. They,
too, want a smooth, direct path. Share the journey. Two are better than one
and a three corded strand is not easily broken.
