                                                                           Losses Overcome

"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."
                                                                                      ~ Joel 2:25

  "Yes, those wasted years over which we sigh shall be restored to us. God can give us such plentiful days that we shall crowd into the remainder of our days as much of service as will be some recompense for those years of unregeneracy over which we mourn in humble penitence.
  The locusts of backsliding, worldliness, and lukewarmness are now viewed by us as a terrible plague. We can raise such harvests of spiritual graces as shall make our former barrenness disappear. Through rich grace we can turn to account our bitter experiences and use it to warn others. If we are the more watchful, zealous, and tender, we shall gain by our lamentable losses. The wasted years, by a miracle of love, can be restored. Let us believe for and live for it; and we may yet realize it. Lord, aid us by Your grace."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

    Lord, help us to humble our hearts in sincere repentence to You O Lord. Help us to use our bitter experiences to help others that are heading down the same road that we had taken years ago and have found ourselves falling to things that we would have never have done if we had only new the right path to take. Help us to teach those who are new learners, who are still babes drinking the milk. This we ask in Jesus Christ' precious name, Amen.
