Think of every awful,
Every gross,
Every evil,
Every wrong,
Thing you’ve ever done in your lifetime.
And then realize that God saw all of exactly that long before He even formed the earth and still He said “I want you”.
No secret too dark for Him to bear.
No shame too great for Him to break.
No story too complicated for Him to redeem.
He saw it all and still, He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to be the mediator for you, to save you, to get you in good standing with Him again,
should you wish to be.
If you were the only person in the galaxy,
The only person left on the earth,
If you were all that was left of humanity,
Still, He’d bankrupt Heaven for you.
Maybe it’s been a while since you talked to Him.
Maybe you haven’t been to church in years.
Maybe you did some things that you feel are unpardonable.
Maybe it feels like you’re too far gone,
like you messed up big time, or maybe
like there’s no hope left.
Let me tell you something,
God, in Heaven is not angry with you.
He is not disappointed in you.
He is not inconvenienced by you.
Know that He actually longs for your company.
For you to know His goodness, faithfulness and love.
Forgiveness of every and any thing is accessible and ready to be given to you,
should you ask for it.
Maybe there’s a lot of junk in your story but maybe it’s worth taking a chance on Him.
“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 ESV
