Gentle Reminder

How easy it is to get held up on the past rather than stepping forward into the future.  Nothing positive comes of wallowing in regret.  This is especially true when one is not In The Word and focused on What Really Matters.  

I've been distracted, yet gratefully reminded that I must refocus and re-prioritize, and appreciate the life I'm living today.  Which leads me to the humility that comes (once again) in realizing God's amazing, unending grace.  Just as the Israelites continued to ebb and flow in their trust of Him, so am I.  Yet, despite my natural tendency to fear or doubt, HE doesn't hold it against me.  

Today I'm thanking God for the gift of life... and the changes that inevitably come with it... and for His grace that walks along beside me... even when I'm unaware.
