There is no such thing as a single chance.
The Lord gives us many opportunities during our lifetime.

i think it's really true that God gives us so many opportunities in life, because i do believe in fate, if some things are meant for me, wherever i strayed my way from it, i will be back again to the path laid by Him somehow. Sometimes i'm so astonished if i looked back at the way He's working, but i know now that i need to make the best of everything He's given me.
P.S : Mr. Coelho thank you so much for creating such wonderful books over the years, i really love reading them and those books have been an inspiration for me to move on with my life
Cheers

That is so encouraging……fills you with hope….and promise.
So if God is Love and Love is Life then God is everything and is the very nature of life itself.
Life is always progressing, it seeks only life and does not struggle with the mistakes that it has made yesterday or waste time judging the mistakes that others have made.
At the very heart of Gods existence is immediate unconditional forgeiveness for everything and the hope of a new begining with every dawn.
Progress is something we define with our love for ourselves and life, the more we learn, teach and grow the more we immitate life itself.
No one is moving faster or slower than anyone else – each is moving according to his own plan and lifes plan for itself.
Cheetahs can not teach speed to turtles but both expressions of life manifest are equal in the eyes of God.
Its simple, we cant lose but we must try!

That is because God goodness has no limits.He loves us so much.that he want to give us more than one chance.God is Love.
God is marciful and he forgives.
And that is why we have a new day every time we wake up in the morning.
-Angeline
God , however we define God, has one message for all of us – that we are all spiritual beings and that it is our very nature to learn and grow and that can happen at whatever pace we decide for ourselves, choose to change in this very instant and God will support us, choose to remain the same and God will support you equally, for what god loves the sailor more than the tailor?
How fantastic a thought it is to be reminded that God (life/love) supports you fully in every decision you make and will catch you when you fall, no matter what, who can evern begin to imagine a love that great?
Maybe all we have to do is commit to learning and teaching and to moving at a pace we can maintain and to do that with love for the very essence of life and never forget that every second is a second that Life waits to make a new decision, after all when you try something new the whole world will conspire to help you!
Have a great weekend.

What u do with each opportunity determines the next. And the opportunities and your reactions make up your life. And life doesn’t forget a thing. You pay for every wrong decision even if you don’t celebrate every right one. And as life moves on you either lose the courage to grab the opportunity…or you find the strentgh to try one more time.
Thats all they are. Just one test after another.
yes I agree , God does give us plenty of opportunities ,but I have also learned to not take anyone for Granted either ..life is precious -so is love ..people u love can be taken away at the drop of a hat and that is reality …so in every moment forgive ,love ,laugh and enjoy each and every moment ,everyday is a gift ..Blessings Tania
There are no mistakes. Only opportunities for growth. For finding out who we are, what we are passionate about, who and what matters for us.
Well, I’m taking this chance to comment on the quote from yesterday, where it was mentioned how the Witch of Portobello was traveling the world to find herself. Correct me if I’m wrong, a travel often has the opposite effect too, that one forget about oneself.
Long ago I surrendered to God’s providence, and found I often misinterpreted opportunities, and that other paths were better, to reach the final goal of what I am meant to be. In the end, every little step in life makes sense, and takes us to completion.
yes….and the right moments to acknowledge them…understand them…

How true! We have so much unfulfilled potential. The opportunities are there, always waiting for us, to notice. I believe, that as God is in stillness…we have been given all at birth…So, through our inner growth…not limited by time or space, we can make these chances appear…please do not leave all the work for God…thank you.
I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU ABOVE!! But what I liked most is what John said..that every moment is one we can start again..
..God gives us many chances and opportunities during our life time..
But, I think, we must consider everyone as the first and last, so that we will make the utmost of our capabilities every time. Never postpone anything that we can do today.
Love,
Thelma
And that redemption, if you choose it, is yours at any time – every moment is a moment to start again.
