Marguerite was a young orphan girl who worked in the King’s kitchen. Unfortunately she was a little clumsy and often dropped plates, glasses, china and other precious objects made of glass. She was always afraid that the King would punish her, but she always was honest with him, and picked up the pieces and took them to him. He not only forgave her every time this happened, but he eventually adopted her as his daughter. The King also kept all these pieces of glass she had broken, and eventually was able to create a beautiful stained glass window for his palace chapel. Jesus does the same with us – He forgives us our failures and mistakes, and makes of us a new person, redeemed, whole and holy.
