This is a beautiful story about beginning again, mistakes, and repentance. Valjean is a man who stole a loaf of bread for his nephew. He is put in prison as a slave for 19 years. He was then set free, but was forever on parole, and could no longer get a job. After he was shown some mercy from a kind bishop, Valjean decides to turn his life around and become an honest man. He changes his name, becomes the mayor, saves people, and raises a child for Fantine.
This story is so wonderful because it is relatable. We all make really dumb mistakes. We all sin. We all choose the wrong path at times. But just as the good bishop, God is merciful. He loves us unconditionally. While he does allow us to experience consequences to our sins, he also accepts our repentance and forgives us, making our sins as white as snow.
I made a lot of dumb choices, i still do. God still loves me. He has given me an incredibly beautiful family for time and all eternity. I am thankful to know that he know every single pain i have gone through and I will go through. He is there to lift me when I need it.
