Ah! the month of February. This is Valentine’s month. The month of love, the month of the heart. It can also be the month of second chances. It can be that month when you break the cycle. Give a second chance to someone who you know who maybe hurting because of something that might have happened with your relationship with them. You can start a movement for second chances.

Who do you know that needs a second chance? You can be the one to break the cycle and say – ‘Hey I am sorry for the way I treated you’, or just a “Hello – how are you doing?’ . This can be just what that person is waiting on to move on. What about that member of your family where things just don’t go right between you and them? You may not like what they do, how they operate. No family event can bring you together with them. They just irks you. Can you reach out and love them? Can you give them a second chance? They are people like you – God created you just as he created them, you can love them but not their behavior.

How about your neighbor or is that going to far? Yes the one with the garbage and the smelly dogs who keep getting into your yard, digging out your plants or leaving their ‘dodoo’ on the lawn.

Remember the story in the bible about how Moses murdered an Egyptian to help his people, but hey murder is murder. God gave him a second chance.

What about David, he arranged to have Uriah the Hittite killed because he had gotten Uriah’s wife pregnant. He got a second chance. God did not give up on him even though the first child died as punishment, Solomon was later conceived.

We all need a second chance, or even a third or fourth chance. What about you? What are the things you need a second chance for? Bring up all those things you have hidden away that are nibbling at your peace of mind and say – ‘Hey I know I messed up, and let it go”. Forgive yourself, give yourself a second chance and move on.

We don’t deserve second chances but God gives us second, third, fourth chances. Thank of the many times you messed up, yet things turned around for you. If he gives you so many chances why not give someone else including yourself a second chance.

Who do you know who needs a second chance? Make that call now, or send that message or email.
