II Chronicles 33:12-13
But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God!
Manasseh's whole life was one of rebellion against the Lord as he ran after all the gods of the land, until he was taken prisoner to a foreign land with a ring in his nose, like a cow.
But in his distress and helplessness, he did seek and humbled himself before the Lord, the God over all the Earth. And when God brought Manasseh back, then he realized that the Lord really is the only God. He went on to remove all the pagan shrines he had built, and tried to lead the people back to God, too. So his end was much better than his beginning.
No matter how far we stray and run from God, He can bring us back, if we but humble ourselves before Him. And He can bring about the impossible.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
