Opportunities

How many opportunities or chances does God give us to get it right?

Seventy times seven - in other words, there is no number.

But my question is: How many opportunities does He give us to do His will? If He guides us in a particular direction and once we get there we sin and mess up that opportunity, does He give us a second chance?

Does God always give second chances when we miss His original blessing in a particular area due to sin? And by second chances I mean the opportunity to fix what we did wrong and try the same thing again?

How many chances do we get to love the one He called us to be with - is that up to God to allow those opportunities or is it up to us to create those opportunities and try again.

Peace Admist Busyness

Peace does not have to be found only in the calmness and serenity of life. One can have peace admist busyness. Peace comes from within.

Likewise, calmness and serenity do not equal peace for if we are under continuous inner turmoil we will feel as if we are constantly busy and peace eludes us.

After asking God to fill me with His peace recently admist my busy schedule, He revealed to me that it is not my busy schedule which has been keeping me from Him and His peace. Instead the inner turmoil and continuous on-the-go of my mind is the reason for my lack of peace. Even when I'm busy I can feel calm and peaceful as long as my heart and mind are in the right Place. If my heart and mind are in the wrong place then it wouldn't matter what I was experiencing or doing in my life, peace would escape me.

Peace is found in Christ. Period.
