The term Restoration was first used
in the 14 th Century to mean the
act or process of returning
something to its original condition
by repairing it according to the
Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Peace
is also defined according to the
English Dictionary as the state of
being free from oppression and
unpleasant thoughts and emotions
whiles Joy is the feeling of extreme
happiness or cheerfulness.
From the various definitions above,
one can notice that before a person
can have peace of mind and joy, he
or she will have to be restored
from every state of distortion or
confusion.
As humans, most of the battles we
fight are the battles within – the
battle of the mind. When one is
confused within, he cannot relate
well with his surrounding because
who we are outside as humans is as
a result of who we are on the
inside.
Therefore these three entities –
restoration, joy and peace work
hand-in- hand to make a person
whole and give him complete
soundness of mind befit creature in
the image of his Creator.
In most situations, one will realize
that most of the negative actions
we portray on the outside are as a
result of the reactions within.
Sometimes one can be annoyed
with a friend on a no-reasonable
ground. When such circumstance
happens, the person that is
angry is confused within or battling
with an issue in his inner man. In
this state of
incompleteness and troubling
within, he can never relate very
well his colleagues, family or even
with himself. This in the end will
leave him in a complete state of
confusion, depriving him the joy he
deserves.
