Second chance?

one thing that really touches me about our Lord...
is his undying persistency and his passion in fixing broken things.
He loves ugly and imperfect things which the world despise and frown upon.
He loves restoring broken things which the world sees as useless.
And His finished work is much more glorious and beautiful than it was before!
One day a 19 year old girl asked me. She is a believer.
She said: do i deserve a second chance?
i nearly teared. but i refrained myself.
Ofcourse you do!! more than that. a third, a fourth, a fifth, infinity.
amongst other things, i said 'you can be angry with God, its ok'
really. was her immediate response
i can see her eyes lit up. all these while, she has been struggling
struggling to put up with a religious front and knowing she is falling so short
she felt condemned. and angry. angry with God for allow things to happen this way.
yet she cannot be angry with God because He is God.
God is good. if you can release even that anger to Him He'll turn things around
and make even your enemies be at peace with you.
i hate it when people put God into a box and fit Him into their description.
they have no idea how much damage it will do to hurting people.
no one can judge except for Jesus. and good news is He has not come to condemn you.
but to save you. isnt He wonderful!
