Sometimes I feel like I’ve let God down so many times that he’s stopped loving me…and that’s really my biggest fear. I know God loves us no matter what but its hard for me grasp the concept that a person can still love you no matter how many times you have failed them.I guess I have to keep reminding myself that God isn’t me and He doesn’t handle things like I would have handled them.

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten…” (Joel 2:25, NIV)
Friend, God knows how to make up for years you’ve lost in your life. No, you can’t relive your childhood, but God can make the rest of your life so rewarding, so fulfilling that you don’t even miss what didn’t happen in the past.
You may feel like you wasted years in a relationship that didn’t work out. But God can bring somebody into your life so great, so fun, so friendly, so attractive that you don’t even remember the years that you’ve lost. You may have spent years on a job that turned out to be a dead end. You were working your way to the top; things didn’t turn out like you had hoped, and now it looks like there’s a big waste of time. You may not see how you could ever get to where you want to be, but don’t believe those lies. God knows how to make up for lost time. God can accelerate things. God can bring opportunities back across your path that you missed that will thrust you years ahead. It may not have happened the first time, but God will always give you another chance. He’ll make up for the lost time and bring you out better and stronger than ever before!
A Prayer for Today
Father, You are my Redeemer. Thank You for Your promise to restore to me the years that have been lost or wasted. I receive Your promise by faith. I put my trust and hope in You and believe that my best days are out ahead of me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

"For He is your life and the length of your days"

- Deuteronomy 30:20 (NKJV)

Some days I ask myself the same questions that Asaph wrote in Psalms 77:7-9

Is God still there?

Does He still care?

Will He hold true to his promises?

Is he still overflowing with mercy?

How long will He be silent?

But then you read on in that chapter and you can’t help but think of the good things God has ALREADY DONE for you…ceasing any doubt you had of Him. Believing that He will remain faithful till the end. If He has been by your side once before, He will do it again. Don’t lose hope, and He shall prevail! God is good till the very end!

"Yes, what sorrow awaits for you! For you are like hidden graves in a field.People walk over them without knowing the corruption they are stepping on"

- Luke 11:44 (NKJV)

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

- Luke 11:33-36 (NKJV)

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened."

- Luke 11:9-10 (NKJV)

"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

- Luke 10:19 (NKJV)

"My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

- Psalm 73:26 (NKJV)

"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?"

- Luke 9:25 (NKJV)
