An excerpt from Christine Caine’s, Living Life Undaunted.
One of the most important things to remember about running our race and finishing our course is that we all fail at times. Everyone stumbles and falls (unless of course we are perfect!). Some of us, however, make the mistake of not getting back up and continuing to run. If we trip and fall in a race, we are not disqualified. We are only out of the race if we don’t get back up and carry on! One of the greatest schemes of the enemy is to fool us into thinking that because we’ve fallen, we are no longer fit to run in God’s race. That’s just wrong! I’ve discovered that God’s grace is a lot more expansive than most of us realize. God never gives up on us. He is the God of second chances, third chances, fourth chances and so on. There is always another chance with God - at least on this side of eternity. It would be foolish to think that there are no consequences for our actions in life; of course there are. But no matter what mistakes we have made, we can still finish our race. We may feel guilty and ashamed about things that we have done in the past, but that guilt and shame can be overcome if we bring our sings to Jesus and repent.
