Coming To Terms With Past Failings
(also posted in single section)
I was greatly encouraged by my readings in Genesis. God is the God of BRAND NEW STARTS and He is the gracious God who will still greatly bless and use us inspite of our past failings. We need to come to terms with them and believe that God our Friend is with us and for us not against us.
We all have regrets and have made mistakes
Perhaps married the wrong person and now there is a divorce, and your left wondering who would ever want you now? (Ive read posts about dear ones like this) Or how could God ever use you after what you have done in the past? Or may be you are a struggling single mum, regreting the past and wondering if God would ever use you now?
You may feel that you have messed up your life. HAVENT WE ALL
I have regrets and failings that grieve me. But the great thing is no matter what you have done in the past God will still USE YOU BIG TIME and He will STILL BLESS so much.
You see Abraham and Sarah messed up and they had a child out of Gods divine plan. I am sure they both regreted it BUT God said DONT WORRY your MISTAKES wont hinder my purpose in your life. Your mistakes only DELAY them! David failed God badely in adultery and yet God used HIm MIGHTILY!
Samson was wayward and slept with different woman and yet God used Him MIGHTILY! God dearly loves us and He will use YOU & I big time. Try not to allow the enemy to say, "Thats it you have blown it now" Dont give up, the Lord is with you, just admit your failings, just be open and honest with Him. He will put you back on TRACK again and use you may be even more than before!
When I fail I mourne deeply but I am forgiven totally and He surrounds me in His arms of love as if I had never done any wrong.
Be encouraged, Be strong, your future has just begun.
Bless you John
