The
God I belong to, the God I worship, sent a heavenly messenger to me this
night. He said, “Do not be afraid, Paul. I’m not finished
with you yet.
Acts 27:23-24 The Voice
~~~
Initial success followed by
heartbreaking failure
is not an unusual pattern in weight loss
or any other
program of self-improvement.
When we fail we must remind ourselves that we
serve a God who,
in this age of grace,
provides repeated opportunities to begin
again;
every morning we find His arms open to us.
In our Lord, every day is a
new opportunity.
We never come to the end of His willingness to receive us
when
we have come to the end of ourselves.
Our life journeys will proceed
on
the Lord’s timetable and not our own,
but we can take heart.
The Lord says to
us, as He said to Paul,
“Do not be afraid, Child, I’m not finished with you
yet!
--from day 51
