Redeeming a name

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Share: |

Talked with a friend recently who wanted to get rid of his last name.

Either it's impossible or very hard to do such a thing legally.

He decided that all he could do was make his last name mean something good again.

That's what God does with us! Since the flood, God chooses to no longer get rid of us and start over. He works with what he's got, constantly trying to redeem a good creation gone bad.

That's why he can take someone with a horrible past and give them hope again.
That's why he can take humanity's darkest hour at the cross and turn it into salvation for the world!

God is amazing...understatement of the year!
