Second Chances

What would life be without them? Would there be "life"? I know I would not be what or where I am today without having been given a second chance, third chance or was it fourth, fifth?? If He hadn't given me a second chance. Even after taking everything for granted all through, He still gave me one. Thats my God! He loved me at my worst. Why? I dont understand it. I dont think I ever will. But boy am I glad that He does! :)

Following is a scripture portion that was written my King David. Its from The Message version. And it will totally relate to anyone who is reading. Let God give you a second chance and see what a beautiful turn it could take for u! :)

"Generous in love—God, give grace! Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I've been;
my sins are staring me down.

You're the One I've violated, and you've seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you're after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.

Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean,
scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.
Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to dancing.
Don't look too close for blemishes,
give me a clean bill of health.
God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life."

//He loved me at my worst. Why? I dont understand it. I dont think I ever will. But boy am I glad that He does! :)

Reminds me of a pamphlet i once saw in Archie's. It said - "love me most when i deserve it least. thats when i need it most." I think He read this too :)
