My youngest son made a mistake with a math assignment. I could hear him crying in the other room, as the sound of defeat rang through the air. He then proceeded to run to me, asking me If he could start again. Fortunately, the program he uses allows for restarts. As I set him up to try again, the sound of relief in his voice could be heard. It had given him a clean slate. He was calmer now and learned what needed to be done. Friend, though we may not always get technical restarts in all avenues of our life; we always have the opportunity to start again. We are always given the opportunity to be the people that God has called us to be. Friend, no matter what mistakes you have made; there is always hope in God. He is always willing to give us a restart, we must just call out to Him. For when we keep our hearts centered with Him; we are always given the opportunity to begin again.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
