Good news for you

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
