Monday's Devotion

A NEW WEEK, A NEW CHANCE
I don't know about you, but I love Mondays! I posted a little bit about this on my personal blog this morning. Mondays to me are kind of like getting a new start on life! Kinda like when you are playing a video game and you don't do so good, all you have to do is hit the reset button and you get to start all over again! Thats how Mondays are to me. No matter what kind of week you had last week, if you didn't do the things you should have or were suppose to; today is a new day and a new week! You get a new chance! So if you had a bad week maybe made some decisions to do stuff that weren't the best. Ask God to forgive you and move on in the right direction. Don't get down on yourself for messing up, but just say God I messed up, please forgive me and then forget about your past sins. Follow after God with all your heart! When God forgives us of our sins, he doesn't hold on to our past sins and say hey! remember what you did 6 months and 16 days ago, I still remember it!!! So if God isn't going to hold our past sins against us, then why should we? In Philippians 3:13-14 Paul says, "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." I'm sure that Paul was reminded of his old days a lot! In case you didn't know, before Paul was saved his job was to find and kill Christians. Then he met Jesus and his life and was changed drastically. So no matter what you've been through and no matter what you have done. Its never too later! So don't forget today is Monday and if it is Tuesday or Wednesday when you read this just pretend it's Monday and start all over again!
We love you & believe in you!
