Another day another chance!

What comes into mind when you think about tomorrow? Do you dread the coming of tomorrow? At one point or more I did.

Did you worry & do you still worry? Feel anxious?

Do you sigh, thinking of what tomorrow may bring?

Do any of these ring a bell:-

"Oh man, I don't know if I can pull through this month..."

"My boss expects too much of me..."

"How on earth will I have enough money to pay the bills..."

"I don't have enough time..."

As hard as it is to admit it...when I think about what i think about it I have to admit, I worry about many things.

"What would this person think if...?"

"When will I be better at this?"

"I just suck at this"

"How do I make things better?"

"How am I to hit my sales target?"

The list goes on & on...

There are too many uncertainties.

I am afraid of uncertainties

Afraid that I am not good enough

Afraid to dissappoint

Afraid that God is sick of me

However the Word tells a different story

Jesus always tells us not to worry, & he always tells us to take courage! There are many occasions in the Bible when He tells His disciples not to be afraid. Indeed, we need a whole lot of courage to live our lives according to His ways.

For human as we are, we can never achieve perfection in our life on earth. Accepting Christ into our lives does not mean that we are free from troubles. That is why God sent us the Holy Spirit to be our advocate, to help pick us up everytime we stumble & fall. It takes courage to trust in God instead of trusting our own feelings. It takes courage to accept His forgiveness (over & over again).

So never stop asking for the Holy Spirit for we cannot do without Him.

Instead of dreading the days to come, let us put our hope in Jesus.

And this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those He has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
John 6:39

Knowing this, we can trust that the Holy Spirit is leading us to our loving Father.

Every day bring with it a new challenge but it also means more time for us, another chance, more opportunities, experience.

Ain't that a happy thing?

Peace be with you all =)
