Today, the road may have seemed steep, and you feel alone. Someone you trust has disappointed you. God sees your tears...He feels your pain. He longs to comfort you, for He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
God loves you so much that He sent His only Son, the Lord Jesus, to die in your place. He will forgive you for every sin you have ever committed, past, present and future, if you are willing to leave your sin and turn from them.
Maybe you feel, "He won't forgive my sins for they are too great. You don't know the sins I've committed, I strayed too far from His love."
I understand your thoughts, dear soul. I, too, felt unworthy and undeserving of His love as I stood at the foot of the cross pleading for mercy, but such is the grace of our God.
The Scripture says, "...I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." ~ Mark 2:17b
No matter how deep into the pit you have fallen, God's grace is greater still. The dirty, despondent souls He came to save. He'll reach down His hand to hold yours.
One day you will stand before the Lord, transparent in His presence. The books of your life will be open to be judged. Every thought... every word... every motive of your heart will be revealed in His illuminating light. What shall you say in His presence? Sure, you made your share of mistakes, but He still loves you! Maybe you thought about giving your life to Christ, but put it off for one reason or another. God is lonely for you. He wants you to come home.
The Scripture says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ~ Romans 3:23
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." ~ Romans 10:9
