I would often ask myself
how many chances would it take
for me to see
or even comprehend
God’s unconditional love for me.
Even though I was trapped inside myself,
like a room with a thousand windows
and one door.
I felt that no matter what I did,
I could never escape.
But God didn’t give up on me.
He would constantly knock on my door
and it’s not that I didn’t want to let Him in.
But it was my pride and my selfishness
that kept me from answering the door.
But once I set my pride aside
and realize God was giving me chance
after chance to see His love,
to hear His love through His word
and to except His forgiveness.
I finally opened the door,
closed all the windows
and never looked back.
Now when faced with conflict,
I now turn to the cross
of unlimited second chances.
