BIBLE MEDITATION:

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Hebrews 8:12

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Have you ever felt like you’ve used up all your “second chances;” that God’s reservoir of forgiveness is bone dry? Perhaps you’ve thought, “I don’t have a right to come and ask Him to forgive me again.” Friend, it doesn’t matter how many times we have sinned.

Suppose you came back to God the 5,000^th time with the same sin. Will He forgive you? Yes, He will. As far as He is concerned, it is the first time you have come to Him. Why? Because He has forgotten all the other times.

Our God doesn’t hold grudges. He does punish sin, but He doesn’t hold grudges. The God of Jonah, David, Mark, Peter, and Jacob is your God and my God. Each one of these famous men in the Bible famously failed Him! I have come to Him so many times and asked Him for a second chance. And guess what? He has given it.

ACTION POINT:

If He can give Jonah, David, Jacob, etc., a second chance, He will certainly give you another chance. Failure is not final.
