A new lease of life

A Bible in his hands, that was all he has in those lonely years. These quiet times has provided a opportunity for him to know God. A God that is full of love and compassion. A God that given him a gift of salvation. A God has given him a second life - a second chance.

With this renewal, he now realize what is most important in life. Beside God, nothing is more important to be with family. Life was totally changed. From a night adventurer, he has become a family man. Money is still not enough at times, but he choose to do right for God. To trust God will provide all that he needed for him and his family.

Surely, when repentance is real and forgiveness has been given by the Lord, He may also grant His grace for new beginnings...

This reminded me a verse in 1 Peter 5:10-11
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."
