An appeal for Mike Vick

I have heard so many negative comments about Mike Vick. How he is a horrible person. He does not deserve a second chance to play in the NFL. That he is a bad role model for our children and etc.

My heart is saddened by the state of our world. We praise men for their great talents but when they made a mistake it is unforgiveable. We want them to pay for their mistakes for the rest of their life. Everytime we see them we see the stain of their mistake on them. Are we without sin? Are we any better than Mike Vick? Have we paid our debt for our sins and mistakes? We are so willing to cast stones at a man but unwilling to look at our wicked hearts. We don't want to look at the habits that we can't break. We ignore our issues and magnify the sins of others. Does that make us any better? No it makes us worse. We are judging and condemning instead of forgiving and loving. We are not the judge God is. We must stop judging others. We don't even know the man but poison and bitterness flows from our lips because someone(Eagles) was willing to look past his mistakes and give him a second chance.

I thank God that He does not treat me like man/this world does. No one in this world deserves a second chance for the sins and mistakes that we have made in life but God sent His Son in spite of our mistakes to redeem us and give us a second chance. We are saved by grace. We are redeemed because God looked past our sins. Never forget that you are not perfect and no matter how little you think your sins are they are worthy of death. Stop looking for people to be perfect if you are not perfect. Let us love one another and stop spreading hate. Remember that our saints in the bible Paul our apostle in his former life was a murderer so was Moses. Only Jesus Christ was without sin no one else. It is not about Mike Vick getting a second chance it is about our hearts. Let our hearts be aligned with the love of God.

We are the role models for our children they must see Christ in us. Stop looking for some athlete to babysit your children and become the one that God uses to show His character to a world lost and desperate for a savior. If we judge our children will judge. If we love our children will love. Let our lives speak life to our children that they might not act like this world but like our Father God Jesus Christ. God bless you and I pray that Mike Vick prospers in his second chance.
