Our God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Whatever you've given up to follow Christ, God is getting ready to restore to you! Didn't he say so? In the second chapter of the book of Joel in the Bible, the Lord says "…and I will restore all that the cankerworm and the palmer worm and the locust have eaten, that great army that I sent upon you!” Look at that – HE sent the test. HE sent the trial of you faith. HE is the one responsible for your lesson in sowing and reaping! The Lord says that the latter rain will be greater than the former. Come on now, praise him like you believe it! Give him glory and honor! Be strong! You are almost at the end! You shall reap all that he has stored up for you and not one iota less! Oh, that man would praise the Lord for his goodness unto the children of men! 35
