Apparently you can correct some of your
youthful indiscretions. I recently read about a new trend in plastic
surgery; earlobe reconstruction, really . . . earlobe reconstruction.
One plastic surgeon says that he has been
doing four or five of the one hour procedures a month, and it seems to be
gaining popularity. It is a relatively simple operation that repairs the
large holes left from having the earlobes punched out and stretched to
accommodate large spacers.
If only all of our past decisions could be
fixed as quick and easy as fixing an earlobe. Some things will always
leave marks that can never entirely be erased. Things like tattoos, poor
choices in relationships and addictive behaviors can sometime mark us for life,
but while the physical reminders may stay with us, spiritually we can be made
new.
After a number of really bad decisions,
David’s prayer is recorded in the Psalms, “Wash me God, and make me whiter than
snow”. God answered David’s prayer and God will answer the same
prayer for us.
We may have to pay a physical price for
the mistakes and choices we made in our past, but the Bible assures us that the
spiritual consequences can be erased just for the asking. The question
is; have you asked?
Have a great week and remember: To see
what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
