With God, anything is possible is a theme repeated in scripture.  But sometimes we begin to think that God cannot forgive my sin, my terrible sins, my repeated sins, my selfish sins.  And sometimes we who have loved ones who need to obey the gospel or return to their first love begin to think that will never happen.  We must jettison such wicked thinking and be assured that Christ's blood can make the vilest sinner whole, and that He can soften the most hardened heart.  Saul, the Pharisee, is a great example of both.
