So many times our humanness gets in the way of a right relationship with the Lord.  In a twisted form of arrogance,  we place our wretched past up on a pedestal and proclaim it to be “too terrible”  for the Lord to forgive.  Yes, your past may be riddled with bad choices…but nothing God hasn’t forgiven beforehand.  Murder, adultery, rape…the list goes on in the Bible of deplorable actions done by people in difficult situations.  But when they took responsibility for their sins and asked forgiveness…God forgave them.   For there’s nothing so serious, so vile, that God’s redemptive power can’t forgive.
