I started time with God this morning, by thanking him - for all the restarts! For all the chances to do better today than I did yesterday! And to begin again, fresh and new. Unladen with the burden of yesterday's failures. Because he's taken them from me. They don't exist in his eyes anymore. And I love him for that.
It reminds me of the movie, Groundhog Day! Reliving life's experiences and our responses over and over, until we get it right! 😄 It is a little that way. But the truth is, I'll never have much success at keeping my life "right" while I'm trying to do it myself. There's a strong selfish streak in me that keeps rising up to overthrow his giving one. It's only by breathing him in, every day - being quieted and motivated by the beauty that is him, that my life shows anything better.
So I'm grateful. For all the restarts. And for the fact that he has never given up on me. Even with failure after failure. He keeps working with me. And he always will. As long as I keep coming to him. Because he sees the potential for beauty in me beyond what anyone else can see!
So I'll come. Every day. And over and over through each day. And let him retune my mind and soul so I can be more like what he sees for me! As long as he's willing, I will come. And slowly be changed, deep within me.
