You've done bad things;
You were seduced by the world,
And are sorry you let yourself be.
But don't despair:
It's not too late for you.
You can begin again,
Wipe the slate clean.
Say to God right now,
And in your heart mean,
From this time on
I intend to live my life
To honor Your Holy Son.
And look what awaits you:
"If any man be in Christ,
He is a new creature."
(II Cor. 5:17)
"Any" man, the Bible says.
And that my friend --
Now right with God --
Covers you.
And this, to cheer your heart:
"Tireless Being, patient of man's procrastination,
affords him fresh opportunities every hour;"
Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Healing, p. 19
