God’s Promises for Restoration
God promises restoration: to rebuild what was broken, redeem what was lost, and restore the years the locusts have eaten.
No ruin is beyond God's power to restore. He promises to give beauty for ashes and to make all things new.
He restores the soul, renews the weary, and brings good even out of what was meant for harm. Your story is not over while He is writing it.
What God promises, in His own words
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.”

“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”

How this points to Jesus
Jesus came to make all things new, and He is even now redeeming what sin and sorrow have broken. Every promise of restoration is yes in Him, who turns crosses into resurrections. In Christ, the ending God is writing over your life is not ruin but redemption.
