Day 221  A Divine “Do-Over”

2 Samuel 22: 25  The Message (MSG)

God  rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes.

A “do-over” is what kids proclaim when they make a mistake playing a game and they want another chance.  They say, “I want a do-over!”  I am so glad that God is the author of “do-overs,” because I certainly have needed those over the years and I will continue to need them!

My major “do-over” is explained on Day 220.  After that event, I still made mistakes….I still sinned.  I didn’t do it on purpose because I love the Lord, but now I know when I do sin, I can go to Him and ask for His forgiveness.  The Bible says that as soon as I do that He wipes my slate clean.

Remember those little clipboard-type thing we had with the piece of flexible mylar on them.  We could draw something on the clear mylar and then when we lifted the mylar up, it wiped away every mark that we had made.

That’s all it takes with God.  He wants us to come to Him with a repentant heart and ask Him to forgive you.  He is the One who will remove every sin from our hearts.

In this day and age, we do not want to say that three letter word---SIN.  We think if we say it, it will become more real.  Yes, it will!!  And when it becomes a reality to each of us, our hearts will be saddened and we can go quickly to God and it is there that we experience His love and His mercy and His forgiveness.

God wants to rewrite the text of our lives.  He wants to take us on a journey into wholeness with Him.  That’s our wonderful God!!
