IF ONLY

Oh, the things I would change if only I had another chance.  Words spoken or left unspoken.  Wrong attitudes.  Sinful behavior.  My life has been all about me.  What I want.  I think.  What makes me feel good.  Lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and pride of life.  I am ashamed.

“Oh God, blot out my iniquities.  Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me.”  Oh Lord, You said that if I repented of my ways and turned to You, that my sins would be remembered no more.  You would cast them as far as the east is from the west. 

Oh, thank You Father that You became flesh in the Messiah Jesus.  You have given me another chance. He took my sins on Himself.  By His sacrifice, You took my shame, my guilt, and my punishment.  You have blotted them out and remember them no more.  How wonderful it is to be a child of the living God. 

If only everyone would have this wonderful experience.
