Here is the actual scripture:
"The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you." -Joel 2:25 NLT
Look it up in several translations. Restoration is such a beautiful thing.
In truth, we learn much in the trials and we forget to give thanks in the good seasons. Still, our God longs to bless us with restoration. The "lost years" and the lessons learned have value, but restoration and abundant blessings are His desire.
We are told to ask to receive... and to trust Him in the hard times. He will restore what the enemy attempts to destroy and renew what seems impossibly broken.
Today, I am grateful our God restores our "stolen years."
