1 John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
I was listening to someone’s testimony who had heard the call of God as a young boy but he ran away from the Lord till he was 22 when God spoke to him again through a preacher. He asked the Lord to forgive him and told the Lord if He still wanted him He could have him but he wanted God to know He would be getting a failure! Inside he heard God say, “Don’t worry about it son, I’m a Master at making champions out of failures” and God did indeed make him into one of His great champions before he went home to be with the Lord last week after 55 years of ministry.😊
I wonder if you sometimes feel like you’ve been a failure in some way, or if you think you’ve let down God or others in your life, or maybe let yourself down? If so, can I encourage you because God is still saying the same thing today, “I’m a Master at making champions out of people who fail.”
Our God is loving and merciful and His heart is still to love and forgive us.😊 God can turn our mistakes or messes into a wonderful message and He can give us beauty for ashes. He did it my life many years ago and He can do it in yours. I was in a really bad way at the age of 26. We had a beautiful new baby but I was backslidden and so seriously depressed I could hardly function. I felt like I was falling apart at the seams and couldn’t seem to think straight, had lost all my confidence, and I was just messed up. So I fell to my knees one day and asked God to forgive me and help me, and He did and He has been ever since. Thank You Lord!
Whether you’re backslidden, or you’ve never asked Jesus into your life before, can I encourage you today to do as I did and ask Him to forgive you and take your life, and turn it around for good, to make you into a champion for Him and He will, because He loves you and He wants you in His family.❤️
