Second Chances

 I have been reading and thinking a lot lately.

Most recently, hell, is there a second chance once we die and haven't accepted Christ?

It made sense to me that when you died without acknowledging that you have been saved, you would go to hell.

Not the hell of fire and brimstone, but of the concept of the total separation of God for eternity.

But then in my reading a couple things hit me like a sledgehammer between the eyes.

God is omnipresent, He is everywhere all of the time especially inside of us, so we can never be separated from Him, even in Hell.

And, He is a God of love and a God of second chances.

I am still not sure how I feel about this concept, but God is a God of love, compassion, mercy, always there for us.

And He is not like us when it comes to love, etc., He is an example of it that we cannot comprehend, it is that strong.

If you are like me, your first reaction to this is that it is wrong because, more often than not, that is how we are raised and led to believe and it makes complete sense.

But God's love doesn't make sense if you think about it enough.

And maybe that's what I have done here.
