So where I work, I have started bringing my "second chancers" on board. Guys and Gals coming from an addiction program or rehabilitated from legal trouble. These are my hardest workers, they've been to Hell and back and are excited to be given a second chance (hence the nickname). One thing I've found recurring in these folks, they claim that when they hit their lowest point, God found them. I disagree. God never lost them, it was they who lost Him. They simply needed to open their eyes, ears and hearts. Once they started listening, he pulled them from the depths.
So many today need to start listening, He has the answers, all of them. I will say that I love sharing encouraging meme's with them, usually about His glory...and they're usually a bit surprised that I'm a grumpy old Vet! LOL
