Your own sin may or may not be similar to the one described in the following article, but the concept explained applies to everyone. The devil has a way of convincing people that their sin is so terrible that their chance of salvation has been ruined. Nothing could be further from the truth. God delights in the prodigal son or daughter returning to Him. Scripture is replete with sinners finding grace and mercy extended to them by the God of the Bible. David was a murderer. Rahab was a prostitute. Paul made a habit of persecuting Christians. Rest assured that God is waiting for you to return to Him and that He will accept you with open arms.

We are white as snow. Our sins are forgiven and forgotten. We are sanctified. Holy. Accepted. Washed. Renewed. We are new creations in Jesus. Amen.
A poem about Rahab that reminds us that God can use any of us, even though we’re weak.
A Christian poem that reminds us that God can use anyone to satisfy His purposes. He uses the lowest of the low. He uses the weakest of the weak. Heck, He even uses me sometimes.
Overcoming sexual thoughts may seem impossible. Can it be done?
At times we may wonder if we can ever win the battle against sexual thoughts. Can we push them out of our minds? Can we overcome the constant temptation to let our minds wander?

I saw my wife and parents and thought about how they would manage without me. I thought about how devastated they would be.
