Life is often crazy and leads us to unexpected places. Our choices affect where we will end up, and sometimes we don't always make the best ones. Getting into a pattern of making wrong decisions can lead us to places we never thought we'd be and turn us into people we never thought we'd become, and this can make us wonder, "How did I get here?"

It only takes one bad decision to start a spiral down the wrong path. It only takes one drink, one puff, one lie, even one rude act to get us off track and headed towards a place we've never been. So what do you do when you wake up one morning and don't recognize who you are or where you're headed in life?

The only good thing about treading far from where you were and who you wanted to be is that you can also go back. Even though bad choices cannot be reversed, they can be corrected. They can become lessons learned and wisdom to be imparted to someone else later, and for the ones who finally realize this, Father will be there waiting with open arms full of grace to lead you home.

All it takes is one choice, one decision to turn around and start heading in the right direction - one simple "no" to something you no longer want to be a part of. Sometimes the first step is the hardest part for many people, especially when we feel like we've done things so horrible they can't be forgotten or forgiven. But the reality is there is nothing in this world we could do to lose God's love for us. There is no amount of bad choices we could make that would cause Him to turn away and leaves us in a place we don't want to be. "

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). After all, God is a God of love, and He would leave the ninety-nine just to find the one, just to bring you back.
