"And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets; who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection." ~Heb 11:32-35~
Have you seen that commercial? The van shows up after a house fire to remove the smoke, water and fire damage, and everything rewinds...their motto is "like it never even happened". They promise to restore the home to a state equal or even better than it's original. Yet the greatest thing is the testimony of awesome restoration that occurred. That's just like God. The entire 11th chapter of Hebrews is such encouragement, what God can restore..."like it never even happened". Such wholeness, complete healing...yet the testimony of awesome restoration from smokey confusion, raging water storms that threatened to overtake you, and time you walked through the fire remains...Hallelujah! Believe Him today. He can so completely restore you, your heart and mind and life can feel "like it never even happened"...And your testimony of faith's healing will be the hope for others.
