83. Time For Your Comeback
Think about Moses. As a young man, he had a desire to deliver the people of Israel. But what happened? Unintentionally, he killed someone. So, he had to run for his life. He spent years on the backside of the desert. It looked like his dreams would never take place. But through all those years out there in the wilderness, he did not get bitter. He did not get discouraged. He still knew that God was in control. And one day, God came and said, “Moses, it is time for your comeback. I have got an assignment for you”.1
Know that the dreams that you once had, they did not die. They are still alive on the inside. You may have made poor choices but it did not bury you, it planted you. That means God has already arranged your comeback. Now you have to do your part and get your fire back. Quit living condemned; quit listening to the accuser, reminding you of everything you have done wrong. God knows every mistake that you have ever made. The moment you ask Him for forgiveness, He forgave you. He says,
“Say O My servants, who have committed excesses against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of God. Indeed God will forgive all sins. Indeed He is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful”. (Qur’an; 39:53)2
The good news is - He did not cancel your destiny; He did not give away your assignment. You need to dig those heels in and say, “That is it. I am not living condemned anymore. If God gave Moses another chance, He can give me another chance too. This is a new day. I am putting on a new attitude. I know I have not been buried. I have been planted”.
