An Abiding Love


 
You are more  than the choices you have made. 
You are more than the sum of your mistakes, 
past or present.
You are more than the situations 
or undesirable circumstances in your life,
many of which you unconsciously or consciously
helped create.

You are a child of the Most High God,
in whom He is well pleased,
despite the moments along life's journey
you stumbled and fell or missed the mark.

He is not keeping score of the countless
times you may have failed to rise to the
occasion;
because the only true failure
is failing to learn from each experience
you go through,
which helps you grow and develop the
wisdom to choose differently the next time around,
thereby, avoiding the same unpleasant outcome.

No, God is not condemning you
for your mistakes or human errors.
It is we who harshly hold ourselves
and each other in condemnation
through our personal judgments of self
and one another.

God on the other hand, loves you so deeply
and unconditionally that He gives you
the grace and blessing of a new day,
that brings with it the gift of a new beginning;
A new day that offers a fresh opportunity
with a clean slate to start over and try again.
