And it should not surprise me that while in the midst of my own struggles that I am lead to a story about struggles.
And it is through this story that He speaks to my heart and reminds me that He is a faithfully forgiving and grace giving Father.
A character asks her great-grandma what she should do about the trouble she seems to have gotten herself into.
Immediately she is answered, "You're going to eat right and get your health back.You're going to stop kicking yourself. You're going to get back up and put one foot in front of the other and get on with your life. That's what we all have to do."
The reply is very much a cry from my own heart, "You make it sound so easy."
Her Oma reminds her that nothing is easy. "Life isn't easy. We do the best we can with what God gives us."
Still unsure of herself she states, "I've made a mess of everything." A cry that I'm afraid I know all too well.
Then come the words from the wise old grandma who has been in that spot so many times herself.
"It's not about what you've done. It's about what you're going to do now."
The very same words my Father whisper to me each time I think I've reach the point of no return.
Because He never kicks those who are down.
He does not dwell on our past.
The Almighty tells us that He takes our mistakes, our wrongdoings, our sins... and cast them as far as the east is from the west.
All I have to do is let them go.... it is I.... never Him who dwells on those things already done... already in the past.
