Redemption

 When I think of redemption I think of second chances.  We redeem ourselves, if we have a desire to do so, when we are given a second chance. But who gives those second chances? Are you letting others decide when you get a second chance or are you taking the reins and making that decision for yourself?  I would encourage you to take control and decide when you get a second chance.
