Restoring the Years

And I will restore to you the years
that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm,
and the caterpillar...And ye shall eat in plenty,
and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God... 
Joel 2:25-26

I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it is whenever I see God working miracles among these men...

And He truly is. Some of them are getting born again. They're experiencing God's forgiveness while the weight of guilt that has kept them in bondage for so long a time is slowly being lifted. Others are being reunited with their families as broken relationships are being healed and restored.

These things are of course hidden from society. Yet they are happening nonetheless because God is full of compassion. He is always at work, too, whether people notice it or not. The Lord is restoring the years, and what a joy it is to watch Him as He renews hope in the hearts of the outcasts.
