The God of a Million Chances
I don't know about you, but to say that the Lord has given me a million chances is an understatement, To sin means to miss the mark (the bullseye of the target). To say I have missed the mark a million times in my life - because this includes my thought life, too - may sound exorbitant, but trust me, I am low-balling it! So when I hear the phrase, "He is the God of second chances," I don't understand it. Why? Because from personal experience, I know that I know that I know that if God had stopped at my "second chance," I would be toast forevermore! No. He has given me, and keeps giving me, chance after chance after chance. Let me explain further. How many days have you lived? Now even if you were to sin only once a day (ha!), how many days is that so far? It would be at least in the thousands. But because we know that we all sin more than once a day(!). that's why I put the "second chance" deal into the millions. I rely on God's mercy
