Never Safe to Sin

"O Lord," said a penitent little boy, "is there another chance?" And the trembling, tearful voice pleaded, "Give me another chance." Many older hearts plead the same. But God does not so deal. He will give not one chance, but every chance. Never does there come a time when God arbitrarily shuts the door of mercy and hope upon the sinful and sinning soul. "Man turns from God, not God from him." "His mercy endureth forever," and He "taketh pleasure" "in those that hope in His mercy." Our danger is that the once more sinning may carry the will so far that it has no power to choose God, will harden the heart so that it has no desire to return, will benumb the conscience so that it is no longer sensitive to sin. God will not fail; but O, there is danger that we may. It is never safe to sin.
