Him to demonstrate His amazing grace in our lives?“ Behold, the Lord’ s hand is not so short that it cannot save, nor His ear so deaf that He cannot hear” Isaiah 59:1.
Our God is bigger than any misery or embarrassment we may experience, any rejection we may face, or hardship that tries to break us. The Lord is bigger than any doubt, fear, or failure, and when you feel like your world is spinning out of control when you’ re unsure whether you have the strength to continue, remember Isaiah 49:16 as it promises that God never takes His eyes or ears from you.“ Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; the condition of your situation is continually before me.” You might believe that you’ re going through this alone, but this is just another example of evil voices that try to confuse and deceive. God knows your thoughts and the warfare you are dealing with and is ready to make you more than a conqueror!
The greatest message that anyone could proclaim is that God loves you so much that He gave His Son to be tortured on the cross for you. Jesus died and shed His blood for those who will accept Him as their Lord and Savior. There is no greater love. Some days you may feel undeserving, blemished, and bruised, but God does not want His precious child to be controlled by negativity. He knows exactly what
you’ ve done and what others have done to you, but more importantly, for those who call on His name, He sees you forgiven. He wants the best for you, just like you want the best for your children. He sees you as a holy vessel that can be used for His glory and is trying to get you to see it. God has more faith in you than you have in Him, and there is nothing you can do to remove His hope in you to be victorious.
Romans chapter five talks about how God’ s followers are justified and redeemed by faith through His grace and the blood of Jesus which is the foundation of our eternal salvation. No sin, failure, or mistake is more powerful than His desire to forgive and forget. Once sins are sincerely repented they are erased, and the only one that will ever remind you is the accuser of the brethren. When you have a moment, listen to the encouraging hymn,“ Grace that is greater than all our sin.” May we place our complete trust in God’ s grace to wash away our shame and guilt and be filled with His righteousness and peace today.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet togeth- er, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day draw- ing near.
