Life is a gift. We may think that we took a wrong turn, hit rock bottom, and think that we may not be able to come back.
This verse, as a reminder that God is truly really working in our lives:
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
2 Peter 3:9 NLT

What a great verse. God has a plan for everyone. People may not know what that plan is but they need to have faith and trust that God knows what is best for them. If people could only understand that, they would live much more carefree lives.
