Today, I heard the most profound spiritual message I have received from my pastor and that is God gives all of second chances and thirds, fourths, etc. However the gospel of second chances is Mark 16:7. God still puts his name on the invitation despite all the slip ups and mess ups that we experience. Therefore it is clear to me that now more than ever that God has given me more than a second chance at life. I've been given many chances which is why I don't a second chance from God, I need another chance because I've had so many chances already.
The level of my mess up is not important to God as much as my condition is after I've messed up. God looks at our heart and knows our heart although our heart is unstable and the condition of our heart after our mess up is what God is looking to. Therefore I know that this is another chance for me to get things right in my life and I finally feel, no I know that I am getting right this way around. I am being good and I am doing good not because I expect something but because this is who I truly am.
I am not denying the Lord any more, I am accepting him and I am glad that God has been with me through all my mess ups and slip ups because without the Lord, I don't know where I would be or who I would be. This is my chance to make things right with not myself but with my Lord and Savior. This is my chance to live up to my Godly potential that the Lord gave me. It has been a long road coming but it is a road I was expected to go on, along time ago. Thus my path to figuring out the meaning of love is getting much clearer.
