He Speaks

Something amazing happened tonight.

I was driving home, praying.  Asking for forgiveness, and for some reason I felt as if I couldn't accept it.  I felt as if my sins were so great that forgiveness was out of reach.  Why would anyone want to forgive me after doing the things I do? I mean, c'mon?

I just about gave up.  I really thought He won't forgive me anymore.  I felt as if forgiveness had run out.  We just talked about this in Bible study last night so I have no idea why I felt the way I did.

I clicked on a radio station to get my mind off of the matter.  The Dave Matthews Band song that goes "Where are you going?" was on.  It was at the part in the song that that phrase is repeated over and over again.  I felt as if God was saying that to me.  Where am I going?  He wanted to forgive me.  He poured it out and set it there on the table for me.  I just wasn't using it.  Wow.  I felt amazed and ashamed all at the same time.

Better yet, I'm pulling in my garage and (now I'm listening to a Christian station) a song that constantly repeats something like (Urr.. I forgot the exact lyrics already and it's only been 15 minutes!) 'Nothing you do will stop me from forgiving you... my arms are opened wide'

He speaks. He knows when, too!
