Restitution


And then before you know it, without you having anything to do with it,
Wasted Lebanon will be transformed into lush gardens,
& Mount Carmel reforested.
At that time the deaf will hear word-for-word what's been written.
After a lifetime in the dark, the blind will see.
The castoffs of society will be
Laughing & Dancing in God,
the down-and-outs shouting praise
to the Holy One of Israel.

For there'll be no more gangs on the street.
Cynical scoffers will be an extinct species.
Those who never missed a chance to hurt or demean
will never be heard of again:
Gone the people who corrupted the courts,
Gone the people who cheated the poor,
Gone the people who victimized the innocent.

That is why the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says to the people
of Israel, "My people will NO longer be ashamed
or turn pale with fear..."
~Isaiah 29:18-22

Thats MY God:) Full of love, mercy & Justice...as I read these promises, peace rolls in & my heart shouts with praise...Hosanna!!!
