Quote of the Day - 3/27

Maybe you made some bad choices, and now you are trying to correct the things you have done wrong. That's noble, and to the extent that you can make restitution for any hurt you have inflicted on others, you should attempt to do so. But you must understand, you can't always repair every broken piece of your life of somebody else's life; you can't fix every mistake or clean up every mess that you have made. You may be trying to pay a debt that you cannot possibly pay. Perhaps it is time that you simply recieve God's mercy and forgiveness so you can move on with your life.

Please don't misunderstand. I am not suggesting that you take the easy way out, ignoring or abdicating responsibility for your actions. Quite the contrary. As much as you are able, you should see forgiveness from and make restitution to those whom you have hurt. But frequently, little can be done to correct the past. When you know the situation is over and done, the best thing to do it just move on.

God wants to do more than you can ask or think as well. He wants to restore good things to you in abundance. If you will focus on the right things, God will take your most horrendous battlefield and turn it into your greatest blessing field.

I'm not saying to take the easy way and just bail out of a marriage or some other difficult situation. Let go of your past disappointments, failures and sins. God wants to do a new thing. He wants to restore to you in abundance everything the enemy has stolen from you. Quit dwelling on those disappointments, mourning over something you have lost, and start believing God for a fantastic future!
