"I will restore to you
the years that the locust
hath eaten."
Joel 2:25.
Devouring locusts.
Oh, the emptiness.
Nothing left but the husks.
And yet this promise:
I will restore . . .
Quickens me.
Could it be true?
I wonder, waiting.
Then
I hear a voice
Softly at first, saying
Let My love fill your emptiness.
Let My strength mend your broken heart.
Let My hand guide you.
Let My joy wipe away your fears.
I will restore . . .
I do restore, for
I am All-in-all, and
I am with you
Now and always.
