When you’ve fallen, when you’re broken, when you've made mistakes, you may think you’re far from God. No, get ready. He’s coming after you. The Scripture says He leaves the ninety-nine sheep and goes after the one sheep that’s lost.
If you’re dwelling on the past, you won’t see the new thing. If you’re focused on who hurt you and what wasn’t fair, then you’ll miss your destiny. God is saying, forget the former things, quit dwelling on your mistakes. This is a new day.
Don't try to understand everything that happens along the way. God works in mysterious ways. If you’re trying to figure everything out, you’re going to get frustrated. There are things you’re not supposed to understand; that’s what faith is all about.
Do your part; control what you can control. Rule your atmosphere, your thoughts, your attitude, your response. Then, God will do His part. He’ll make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.
God uses closed doors just as much as open doors. He uses people that are against us just as much as people that are for us. He uses rejection, betrayals, and delays to position us for promotion.
