Those who feel like God doesn't love them , God wants you to know that He is pursuing you today. You might feel like you've done too much bad stuff but Jesus died a bloody death on the cross for you too. He was beaten beyond recognition bruised scorned head crowned with thorns His side pierced nails in His hands nails in His feet for you too.
Not one who is already saved by Grace through faith is better than the one who hasn't believed. Jesus died for the murders too even His own on the Cross Jesus cried out Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
Jesus was a humble servant leader who washed the feet of Judas knowing that Judas would betray Him . Every one of us who have stood on the side of sin were guilty of His death and out of love for all the world God sent His only begotten Son Jesus came in the flesh He is the Christ the savior of the world and He seeks to save the lost.
He has called us all to repentance and that is turning away from our sins, fact is I was lost in depression lost in anxiety lost in the party life committed crimes spent time in jail in times past sold drugs did drugs was a abuser of myself and others I've did a lot of bad things some people still hold against me but the beautiful thing is Jesus forgave me of it all cast my sins as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered gave me a new heart put His spirit in me raised me up caused me to cross over from death to life and live in Christ as a new creation in Christ.
He put a love in me I didn't have before, a love for Him a love for myself and for my neighbors. Jesus extended to me undeserved unearned mercy and Grace through His death and ressurection . He forgave me and told me to extend the same forgiveness.
Told me to love in deed and in truth. Jesus found me in a Dark valley a Dark pit where I felt hopeless and helpless I was always trying to save my own life and burie my internal wounds and my pain living reckless I should be dead a 100 mph car accident when I turned 17 , drug deals gone bad death threats to my life overdoses on escasty pills, acid trips that had me at the edge of never coming back, deep and dark depression many suicidal thoughts and feelings of taking my own life.
But I would of went to hell if any of those things would hand killed me. If not for His mercy and Grace available through His death and ressurecrion I wouldn't be hear at the age of 35. When I was at the end of myself constant thoughts that , that way of life wasn't living I came to the end of myself finding a deep desire in me yearning for change I could never change me Christ changed me when He came to me in my low estate and I responded to His call Lord forgive me I need you I can't make it another day with out you and He put the desire in me to stop doing certain things and stop living the ways that were killing me spirtually.
There is blessed Hope in Christ for all. Today if you hear His voice harden not your heart respond to His calling as Jesus seeks to save you from all that has been destroying you internally and externally. New life awaits you today and a journey by faith walking with Jesus.
