A Miraculous Transformation
"...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" - 2 Corinthians 5:17
A group of friends in Scotland were gathered at a hotel after a day of fishing for fun. The group was talking about their catch when one of them knocked over a glass flower vase. It shattered and left a stain on the whitewashed wall. The man apologized to the hotel manager and offered to pay for the damage he had caused. However, he was disappointed that he could not do anything about the wall. Another man nearby said, "Don't worry," and got up and began to paint around the stain with a brush he had. In a short time, the stain had become a work of art. That man was the famous Scottish animal painter E. H. Landseer.
David, the greatest king of Israel, who wrote Psalm 51, brought a stain upon himself and his kingdom because of his sins. He took the wife of his servant and had him (Uriah) killed in battle. The penalty for both of those acts was death. But he fell into God’s hands, bowed down to the ground, and prayed to God, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and a refreshing spirit to sustain me.” Immediately, God washed away the stain of David’s sin, forgiving and forgetting him, and declaring him a man after His own heart. He fulfilled the promises He had made to David in his life.
It is human nature to err. But so that the mistake may not be a mistake, pray to Jesus to be delivered from the curse that comes with it. When we give our tainted lives into His hands, He will transform them in a way that will amaze others. Renew your broken relationship with Him. He will give you the adoption of sons who call you Father and give you eternal happiness with Him. Yes, instead of living with a guilty conscience that you cannot live holy, confess to God and beg Him and become a new creation. All the old things will pass away. Hallelujah!
