Having turned my back on God for 18 years of my life, I often feel like an infant when it comes to religious knowledge and experience. I feel over-whelmed with all the years of learning that I missed out on. Years that I wasted.
At times like these, I wonder what I could ever accomplish. How can I be of use when I have so much to catch up on?
Today’s reading reminds me that God did warn me and that I’m only caught off guard due to my own stubbornness. He called out to me over and over and never failed to provide for me whether I saw it or not and irregardless of my failure to give him recognition.
However, I’m also reassured that God has a plan for me. I may have wasted a lot of time, but He isn’t finished with me yet. I have no doubt that my purpose will be fulfilled and my experiences will factor greatly in accomplishing my task.
“Your last chapters can be your best. Your final song can be your greatest. It could be that all of your life has prepared you for a grand exit. God’s oldest have always been among his choicest.”*
The prologue is written. The first song is sung. The first scene is acted out. Here’s to the rest of the story, the ball, and the play. The best is yet to come…
