Beloved, how long will you mourn over your lost opportunities, failures, disappointments, the pits and traps you have fallen into, the destroyed friendship or marriage, the hurtful and revengeful words pronounced upon your life, the betrayals etc?

Summon up courage, wipe off your tears, forget those things of the old, repent of any sins committed, cultivate your relationship with God, commit your way to the LORD, make yourself available to Him and put all your trust in Him.

This month, God has a great plan for you and He is committed to making that plan become a reality.
But you must do your part - keep yourself yielded to him, be of good integrity and character so that he can continue to direct your life.

Remember that David wasn't considered necessary to be included in his family when the prophet of God called them to sacrifice.
