A FRESH START
"He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7 NKJV
The largest bulldozer in the world is the D575A. It's 16 feet long, 25 feet wide, 41 feet high, and weighs 225,000 pounds. It was once used in a country where there was a surplus of garbage that was polluting the environment. The bulldozer was brought in to dig a hole big enough to gather all that garbage, bury it, and remove it from the lives of the residents. At the cross, God dug a hole so big that He could gather the sins of the entire world, in the past, present, and future. He gathered and placed them upon His Son. Now He takes all of His Son's sinless perfection and righteousness and places it on you the moment you put your trust in Him. "For He made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV). You say, "But I have failed so badly." A dirty diamond is still a diamond; it just requires cleaning. And that's what the blood of Jesus does for us (See 1 John 1:7). The wonderful thing about an electronic calculator is that if you press a wrong button, everything isn't lost. You don't have to untangle or figure out the problem. Simply pressing "clear" restarts the calculation. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the righteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:7 NKJV). God is ready to pardon, restore, and give you a fresh start.
