because I'm Yours

Every breath is a second chance because I am always Yours.

I have been surrounded by so many quotes, verses and passages lately that speak of God's loving choice to put us aside, actively freeing us and enabling us to live a life of freedom and joy instead of death and captivity. I can breathe and try again because, in Him, I have the gift of forgiveness and His deep, unrelenting love always surrounding me. Only because of Him do I have reason and ability to continue to rise again and fight till the death.

"But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert  and sober. For God did not destine for us wrath, but to gain salvation our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him." 

--Thessalonians 5:9&10
