"Never Too Late"

Have you ever wondered, what lies beyond the shadow of doubt?

The sun perhaps? 

Or perhaps.... 

the Son Himself?

There is always light behind the shadow.

The truth and the light 

lies beyond the fear 

of who we secretly fear 

we've become...

or know that we have.

Yet, with life there is hope.

And light is far reaching-and it is ever so fast..

illuminating even the darkest corner with shades of hope. 

Do you doubt that He loves you. 

It's easy to do, when you live in the shadows.  It's chillingly cold there.

But He knows

He knows you will make mistakes. 

He completely understands your fear and frustration...

Yet, if you bring your brokenness before Him,
He will chart a new course for you.

He understands that you fear you are a disappointment to Him. 

You are not!!!! 

You see, HE sees the finished work in you, even when you cannot.

Sure, He is disappointed in the sin that you have become entangled with.
But, there is always hope, 

when and if...

you come before Him honestly, 

He steps into the shadows and gently leads you to the fullness of the light.

He offers redemption.

His love is constant, steady and true.

And He absolutely loves that somewhere inside of you,

you are still seeking Him and His ways....... "

(I mean really!, would you have gotten this far, if you weren't)

As sure as fresh flowers are waiting to bloom through the cold and barren winter,...,so shall you.

In due time.

"I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."

Phillipians 1:6

He is here!!!....

to protect and nourish you as well, through the warmth of His love especially.....

through His Word 

when you are alone...

(If you are wondering where the light begins, start in His Word)

He is also here through steady and solid friendship...

when you are in need.

Surround yourself with people whom strive to reflect Christ. Surround yourself with those who will not simply tell you what you want to hear, but will instead speak with love what you need to hear

Remember this..

Even if you have turned away, He is waiting to love you where you are, so that you might walk up rightly once again.

He is...exactly who He says He is. 

There is 'no shadow of turning with Him.'

Jeremiah 31:3,4

"The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your timbrels

and go out to dance with the joyful."

If you are struggling to find something to be thankful for, 

A place to begin...

Look no further than the true light...
Look to the Very One who casts the shadow.

Application: 

Get up and get going...for with God-it will never be too late.

"...for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light."

Ephesians 5:14
