Restoration

Restoration

I will restore, says the Lord.  You will be better than you were before.  What I give you will exceed your losses.  Your laughter will exceed your anguish.  You will not even miss what you have lost, because you will be blessed beyond measure.  I will pour out My blessings upon you, and you will forget about what was, in the light of what I give you.  I will heal the wounds.  Your scars will not hurt.  They will be a sign of healing and health, not pain and agony, says the Lord.

You will genuinely smile again, says the Lord.  It will not be amusement, but real joy.  Unspeakable joy.  You  will blossom like a rose.  The scent will fill your environs.  No more rotting hopes, destroyed dreams, foiled plans.  The decay of the past will only be fertilizer for the bountiful blessings that you will obtain.  I will not replace, but restore, and what you gain will exceed your losses, not a double portion, but an abundant supply, and you will rejoice, says the Lord.
