Encouraging word for today: I believe in second chances.
God
knows I have been given many do-overs in my life. The most amazing and 2nd
most amazing second chance was/is love in its purest form. 1st how
amazing God’s love is, that even when I walked away from him, thinking I knew
it all, how my life should go, he waited as I made all of my own mistakes and
then one day called me back to him with sweet loving tender mercies.
No great
prophecies, no laying on of hands, just a simple thought, much like the
prodigal son. “I believe I’ll rise and go back home.” And with that simple
thought he filled me with more love than I could ever imagine and a life and
journey that is beyond comparison.
And
then there’s the love of a man that much like God, seeks after, not my body but
my heart. What kind of second chance is this? After a failed marriage, many
heartbreaks, seeking love in all the wrong places. Then love walks into my life and offers me a
second chance. What I am so grateful for today is the “Journey” the “in the
meantime” that taught me so much about me. Without those failed relationships,
without that journey without God, I wouldn’t be the person I am today and I
wouldn’t be so humbly grateful for second chances. Believe me- second chances do happen. Enjoy
the journey. Learn the lessons of “in
the meantime” and when the second chance
come you will truly understand the meaning of gratefulness.
Have a blessed and
beautiful day!!!
