Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Joshua spared Rahab the prostitutes and her relatives
who were with her in the house, because she had hidden
the spies Joshua sent to Jerico. And she lives among
the Israelites this day. (Joshua 6:25) (Read Joshua
chapter 6)

Reflection:

Isn't forgiveness wonderful. Forgiveness is truly a miracle.
Here we have a known prostitute, a woman who was
considered the lowest of lows, named Rahab. God looked
within Rahab's heart and gave her a second chance.
A beautiful act of forgiveness. At the risk of her own life, she
helped the Israelites and in so doing, received a new
life, and a new people, and a new savior. This "lowly"
prostitute, this lowest of lows, because of God's
forgiveness, became one of the ancestors of Jesus Christ.
This of course is the same savior who died on the cross
and forgave all mankind of their sins.
I guess the question here is are you in need of forgiveness?
God can forgive you now, no matter what you've done.
All you have to do is admit you need help, receive God's
forgiveness, and change your life, not only do you feel
better, you are better.
Remember this God of second chances wants to help you
today. He is here for you.

Quote:

Were it illegal to say
"I'm sorry, please forgive me,"
Gladly an outlaw I would be,
To apologize anyway.
