God of Second ChancesSample

He continues to seek you

Reflection:

God doesn't give up on you. Like the good shepherd, He leaves the ninety-nine to seek you when you are lost. Even when you flee in your fears and sins, He follows your trail with patience and love. No matter how many times you've tried to walk away, His love continues looking for you to restore you.

Sometimes we think God only seeks us out when we are well, but the truth is He goes after us in the midst of our filth, fears, and our failures. Today you can allow yourself to be found by Him. Stop hiding, and let His love cover and heal your heart. He never gets tired of calling you and reminding you that you are His.

Question:

Which areas of your life do you need to stop running away from to allow God to find you?

Prayer:

Loving Father, I thank You that Your love gives me freedom and hope, reminding me that my past does not determine who I am or where I am going. Today I surrender every mistake, every wound, and every shameful moment to You, and I ask that You use them for Your glory. Heal my heart and help me leave behind the chains that bind me to the past to embrace the future You have prepared for me. Teach me to see myself as You see me: forgiven, loved, and purposeful. May every step I take be guided by Your grace and Your truth. Amen.
