Daily inspiration


I'm sure you know what it's like to suddenly realize that you are driving in the wrong direction. With some sense of urgency, you look for the first, safe place to make a u-turn. Wouldn't want to waste any more time going in the opposite direction of our destination now, would we?

Life is this way. We're human and as such, we often fall short of who we would like to be - more importantly, who God wants us to be. We find ourselves clearly heading in the opposite direction of our destination to be more Christ-like.

We've all found ourselves regretting something we've said or done, wishing we could take it back, wipe our slate clean and start over again.
I sure have. Truth be told, I find myself in that situation more often than I'd like to admit. But, I'm grateful that God allows u-turns. The bible says in 1John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Through God's grace and mercy, we are given the opportunity to make a u-turn and get back on the path He has laid for us. We don't have to wait for a pastoral invitation to kneel at a church altar. We can ask God for forgiveness right this moment, right where we are. Why not take a minute right now and ask God to point your life back in the right direction?
His direction.
