(Esther 2:20)
Obviously, Esther was the kind of girl every parent dreams of, LORD. After she left home, she became the kind of woman every parent dreams of.
I haven’t been that good. From my childhood till now, there have been times when I disobeyed the wholesome principles I received from those You placed over me.
Please forgive me!
There’s nothing I can do about the past. But from this moment forward, You have given me a new chapter to write.
That’s what I long to do, Jesus!
Have I abandoned any of those early instructions You want me to still follow? If so, please show me what they are.
With your help, I will build those holy principles into my life.

You are so right, Jeff. Speaking of my own checkered past, He’s the God of the second-billioneth chance!
