Second Chances.....

Have you ever walked down a path that you wish you could erase? Have you ever taken a journey that you wish to forget? Well, I am sure that many of you can relate to those feelings. I know those feelings all to well. There are so many choices in my life that I wish could be erased. But, as I stand here now as a witness....I realize that God doesn't ever give us more than we can handle. We are dealt cards that He wants us to have for whatever reason. All of the things that we go through are leading us to something better. It is when you accept the choices and the consequences that you are able to grow and change. God loves each of us and wants a better life for all of us.

I believe that sometimes God brings us back to a certain place to give us the opportunity to make a different choice. I would have never believed it, if I wasn't walking there currently. I am so thankful that I am not in the same place that I was in 3 years ago. God used my situation to draw me close to him.....just as he is using this long month away from my husband to draw me near to him now. I now remember how uncomfortable it was to be there before, but I feel so blessed to know that I can seek God with all of my heart and find Him now.

So many people struggle from this same battle, but they don't know what to do. So they seek comfort in food, alcohol, drugs...and even in other people. There really is a better way....His name is Jesus. He is the most amazing father that you could ever have! He will never leave you or forsake you. He will always be there, no matter what mistakes you make. He loves you just the same! Many times, the struggles that we faced as children come with us as adults. God wants us to be healed of those wounds. He wants us to be whole again. He wants the whole world to know how much he loves each of us. We just have to, say yes! There is nothing that you have to do, to earn his love! We are loved, because He is God...and we are His children.

Seeking happiness in things or other people will only lead to heartache. The only thing that can truly fill that empty place in your heart...is Jesus. If you seek Him, you will find Him waiting with open arms to receive you.

I pray that God will meet you where you are and that your life will never be the same.....in Jesus name. Amen.
