lost everyone and everything
and went on to provide wisdom
for the ages,
sold into slavery by his
brothers
and went on to feed a world of
starving people,
on the lam in the desert
40 years
and went on to lead a nation to
a promised land,
swallowed by a big fish
in the sea
and went on to help a so sinful
nation repent,
thrown into a den to be
eaten by lions
and went on to prophesy of the
coming Messiah,
beaten and hung to die on
a cross
and went on to rise and provide
sin forgiveness,
publicly denied the Christ
three times
and went on to lead the very first
Christian church,
stoned and persecuted early
Christians
and went on to write most of the
New Testament,
separated forever from The
Creator
and went on share the Good News
of Salvation,
it’s not a question of
what made the
difference, but instead Who made
it possible
like so many since the very
beginning,
God has restored so many from
Job to us
who in turn He has used
to extend the
the promise of restoration to others
as bearers of hope
