Second chances♥

Our God is a God of second chances.
I mess up. A lot. Sometimes I mess up really big, an sometimes it's just little things, but the thing is, if I ask for forgiveness, He gives it. It's a concept that is really hard for me to grasp, but at the same time, one I want to grasp and hold on to with both hands. He knows my heart... my joys, sorrows, fears, regrets, smiles, tears... everything. He knows everything about me, and yet he loves me anyway. It doesn't matter what I've done before; if I truly repent, it's gone. I don't ever have to look at it or see it again. And it doesn't matter what other people think about me because of it- the one that matters forgave me. But you know what else? If He can forgive me for my mistakes, then I should be able to forgive myself. And if I forgive myself, then what else really matters? I have never been happier to be so tiny, and so loved. Something I've learned today, again for the first time... He never gives up on me. No matter who else, or what else does, He never will. He'll always stay by me, always be on my side, and always love me unconditionally. I've never been more thankful, or more humbled than when I think about this. This song has been stuck on replay in my head today, and I think it pretty much sums it up...

"Walking, stumbling, on these shadowfeet,

Toward home, a land that I've never seen.

I am changing, less and less asleep

Made of different stuff than when I began

And I have sensed it all along

Fast approaching is the day

When the world has fallen out from under me,

I'll be found in you, still standing.

When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees,

when time and space are though, I'll be found in you."

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."-Lamentations 3:22-23
