But there are some things that can and should be brought back to where they were; perhaps they can become even better than they were. Relationships for example, if yours with God is a bit flimsy or frayed, be cheered to know that he is there waiting to restore you to perfect spiritual health. The only things that will shrink when you are in a relationship with God are your burdens.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Lord your word says that you will carry our burdens and bring rest to our souls.
