            I Will Heal and Restore Your Broken Relationships
   
My dear precious one, I have felt your anguish and heartache over the years 
concerning the people you have lost in the past in order to come away and 
serve Me. I have heard your thoughts and prayers each night concerning 
these people, and I know how much they have meant to you and how hard it 
has been for you to be away from them. But I would tell you this day that 
even as Lazarus lay in the grave and was considered truly dead but I 
brought him back to life, so I am also able to bring your broken and dead 
relationships back to life. Your old sorrow will soon become new joy.
   
I told you in My word that if you were to follow Me that it might mean that 
you would lose certain people in your life that might distract and even 
oppose My work in you, and now you know exactly what that means and how 
terribly it hurts. But I have kept what is important to you tucked into 
My pocket and there it has remained until this appointed day of restoration. 
Even as the grieving widow mourned for her dead child in his coffin and 
I touched that situation and granted him new life, I want you to have 
faith that I can also do this same thing in your situation, and in your 
dead relationships.
   
But I would call you today to first forgive all those who hurt and rejected 
you. I would call you to release your offenders from the prison of your 
heart and allow them to run free into My hands. I alone am qualified to 
judge your situation and those who harmed you, and I alone know what dwells 
in men's hearts and why they do the hurtful things that they do. I will 
deal with their offenses. Some people I will restore back into your life, 
and others I will just heal your heart concerning them so that it doesn't 
hurt you anymore. When you truly forgive, I am then released to heal both 
you and them. 
   
So I would call you this day, My faithful one, to have faith in Me to do 
what you cannot and to grant fresh grace upon this thing that has been barred 
to you for so long. Without My life nothing can live, and this works in 
relationships as well. I can attract people together with My grace, and I 
can repel them without it. But know this, that I only do what is good and 
right in anyone's life, and so I also dealt with you. I was not being 
cruel. Though you have felt childless and friendless, behold now I will give 
you many children, and many friends. My favor is upon you My dear one, so 
I would once again call you to trust Me to heal and restore your broken 
relationships.
