Relapse is bad. There’s nothing more dangerous than anger on yourself. It eats you alive. It makes you bitter. It gives you a lens of looking for someone to blame because all that self anger needs an outlet. This isn’t something new to someone who’s trying to break a habit. A bad one.
And there’s one thing that I always feel.
I feel it ,I feel it in my very bone that God’s mercy is new every morning.
Every morning is one more clean slate for us. It’s him saying there there child, try again.
Where sin abounds , Grace increases.
I got up today and I got this epiphany and this distinct feeling rising that today is a clean slate. Somehow God’s anger and wrath against my relapse was replaced with Grace and a second shot. It’s not the first time I’m feeling it.
Maybe in another sense, Every morning is God’s call towards repentance.
If you’re defeated , and angry at yourself. Get back up. It’s a new day, it’s your one more shot at living right. Take it one day at a time. Live a life that honors him in thoughts and deeds.
