Shakespeare's character Macbeth (you may have read this in school) commits several terrible and vicious murders. When he finally thinks of repenting, he feels that there is no hope. As he recalls the number of bad (really bad!) things he has done he cannot believe that he can turn his life around. So what does he do...keeps on killing and hurting people until he himself is killed.
Macbeth could not have been more wrong. We Christians know there is always hope, always a new chance. In many ways God does not even care what you did ten minutes ago...He cares about what you are doing right now...at this very moment.
Think back to those times (maybe 5 minutes ago) when you were grumpy, irritable, disrespectful or just down right mean...ask for forgiveness, ask for a new heart that desires to help and be good to others and BELIEVE that God will change you. You can start again because thankfully God never turns away from you. Never! He's standing there now with open arms...all you have to do is walk into His loving embrace and be ready for a dynamic change.
