So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. He had also seven sons and three daughters. Job 42:12'13 WEB.Job was a very wealthy man who went through a terrible trial. He lost everything he had. Yet, when it was over, and Job prayed for his friends, all he had lost was returned double. In chapter one of the book of Job, he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yokes of oxen, and five hundred donkeys. In chapter forty, he had precisely twice this amount. Though his first group of children was with the Lord, Job was blessed with seven more sons and three more beautiful daughters. So at the end of the book, he had double the number of children as well. God restored it all.
You can't judge a book by reading a single page in the middle of it, nor can you properly evaluate your life by a season in the middle of it. During one year of my life, my business burned to the ground during an insurance lapse. My Dad passed away, I went through a divorce, and I started my life over with nothing. Yet, the Lord restored what I lost with better. And I thank God for getting me through those dark times. If I had given up, then I wouldn't be here writing this day.
"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning." Ecclesiastes 7:8.
The later part of your life can be better than the beginning. No matter what you are going through, God still has the same good plan for you that He had when you were born. When you are restored, it will be better than before. God has seen every tear, and He knows the pain you have been through. So be encouraged because this storm will pass. The Son will shine once again in your life. The ending can be better than the beginning, so don't give up in the middle.

I had two of my family members tell me that I had a Hard life and I did at one point. Years ago I was on drugs and I was verbally and Physically abused by men that I dated at the time. I lost custody of my children and one of my favorite Aunts turned on me and lied in court and told the judge that I was an unfit parent. due to domestic violence I lost my apartment and I had to sell my car that I had to my cousin. But light had shine on me after the storm. I prayed for years and also this ministry has prayed for me. Now i talk to my oldest daughter when I did not see her for 7 years. My other two kids my aunt wont let me talk to but they are turning eighteen soon. Also I have a used car that I drive that my brother help get fixed for me to drive. Department of housing called me after being on the low income housing list for 15 years to get an apartment oneday soon. I work now at one point I did not work for 5 years and I had to help take care of my Dad for 6 years and live at his house my Dad was in a wheel chair. So I understandwhat it feels like to lose things and have to start over. Im at work and I have tears in my eyes because that pain is to there and my wounds are still healing. I thank God that he is giving me my life back. I been living with family since my Dad passed away and Im a little nervous about having my own apartment again. But Iam grateful for it, honestly Im ready to move on my own I may be nervous but Im taking this oppotunity Im Estatic.
Praise the Lord for your testimony, Madalyn. Continuing to pray for strength and blessing over this journey. God is faithful!
Amen Lord Jesus!
Amen!
