Day 2 Begin. End. Begin.

In the beginning

There is a lot about beginning in the Bible.  There is a lot about beginning in you. In your days and years and there is a great deal about endings too. Loosing and failing and hurting and dying. Then comes the finding, the saving, the healing, the embracing and these things become a beginning again and so wholeness comes and that which was broken is made to work once more and the path becomes straight once more and the songs start to be sung again.

As it is in the Bible, so it is in life, for the Bible is the story of life, our life. It's the story of heaven breathing into earth and bringing forth life. One day our breath will cease, our earth meld with the soil from which it was formed. Then our heaven will soar into those arms, the arms that have always held us, guided, silently witnessed our every breath. Then will be our beginning from what seemed like an ending, then will be the dawn that shines brighter, more beautiful than eyes of earth have ever seen.

What a miracle we are.

To fully understand your devotional message, I had to read it over and over to analyze it's deeper meaning as it applies to my life. I had to reflect and look back at my life and then, silently I meditate on the wonderful gift of life God has given me. I had my share of twist and turns... mistakes, heartaches, and pains along the way, but God is so good. He has helped me to get up and rise up to have second chances. When the end of my life is near, I am ready to embrace it to start an new life with God that is waiting for me.
