TODAY IS A NEW BEGINNING

I know somedays it feels like we don't want to get out of bed. But just think what we might miss if we decide to cover our heads and not see what God has in store for us. Just when it feels like things can't get better, the hand of God reaches out to us in a most unexpected way. He touches our hearts through others around us. He sends His love by way of gestures, words or the touch of someone near us. Not always the way we invision it, but God's timing is perfect.

The gift of forgiveness.

I love the idea that when we ask God for forgiveness he grants us that gift. He does not hold a grudge and allows us a fresh start. A clean slate. He does not keep me trapped in the past expecting me to prove to Him that I have changed or that I really meant it when I said that I was sorry. I know that God expects me to have Christ like behavior. To treat others as I would like to be treated. It is very hard to let go and give someone a new start. It's difficult to let our guard down. But how can we know for sure if things have changed if we continue to find that person guilty based on assumption or past experience.
