God Backfills~~~~~

I will repay you for the years the locust has eaten-- the great locust and the young locust, the other locust and the locust swarm, my great army that I sent among you.  Joel 2:25

God can make up for wasted time. In redeeming rough seasons in our lives. You may have been embarrassed or even humiliated,  your family teetered on division, your joy gone, your energy sapped, reputation damaged, but nothing is beyond the long arm of God's restoration. Injustice may have caught you off guard, unaware and unexpecting, you seem to have lost everything you spent a lifetime building. Your faith shot full of holes. A desire to move forward seems to be at a standstill. Worst of all, you wonder wheres God in all of this? Thank God, when there is no where to go and you feel like you are at rock bottom, it's time to look up. Trust God during this time of turmoil and transition for you are in place to for God to backfill in your loss. Move forward in the power of the Holy Spirit. He is our stability in the time of insanity.  You are a living and breathing testimony of the grace and love of God. Let God backfill the hole in your heart and life with His love and faithfulness. What God fills proves faithful, what God fills He controls and comforts. 

Have you ever been in this situation and only by His grace has he backfilled the empty holes in your life?  He will restore what the locust has eaten...  Take a deep breath and breathe, allow the Spirit to breathe fresh wind into you...

Have been thinking of the newspaper article my Mother sent me of my Pop ( Charles Morgette ) concerning his tour of duty as a medic in WW11,  and the heartache in it all. Seeing my Dad ( now in heaven) serving in the Navy, also my son  Eddie Jr serving in the Coast Guard.  How they all have their own scars and stories . "Scars and Stripes"  Theses thoughts being on my mind caused me to realize we all have scars of some kind. Scars are an inevitable part of life. Scars are the way  life writes stories into our flesh. See some scars are physical and some are emotional and some are spiritual. can I tell you we have a high priest who can be touched by the feelings of our infirmities. You may have scars from physical abuse, or mental abuse.. You may be wounded spiritually.. You may have been hurt in the past.. But I tell you,   "JESUS HAS SCARS TOO"   We all have scars.!! I realize we have a choice in using them as a tool for Christ Glory or not. Some of the scars can be very deep and personal, but I have come to know when he uses me to witness of those scars it not only brings healing but glory to Him.
