Nobody is too broken for the grace of Jesus.

If we were to all be honest with each other and ourselves, we could admit that we’ve all done things we aren’t proud of, said things that we wish we could take back, and been places we wouldn’t dare go visit again. 

What we need to understand is that while many of us have found redemption through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have to remember that there are still millions of other people in this world who have yet to do the same.

The Apostle Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15:9-10, For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church. But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.”

The truth behind Paul’s words are revitalizing and scandalous—that even a man who once persecuted the church of Jesus Christ has now been redeemed and forgiven by His grace. This is revolutionary for all who hear it. The story of Paul is one we can all learn from. He is a greatexample of somebody who was far from God but found favor through the grace of Jesus. A second chance awaited him, and that second chance was discovered through seeking repentance, asking for forgiveness and allowing the spirit of Christ to transform him.

No matter what you’ve done in life, it is imperative to understand that the grace and love of Jesus is waiting for you with open arms.

No matter where you have been, what you have done, how far you may think you are from His grace, He is waiting on you today. There is nothing that you need to “DO” in order to be forgiven. All that NEEDS to be done has already BEEN done. No one could ever be “good enough” to receive forgiveness. That is why it is called GRACE. God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

You don’t need to reach a certain level of “goodness” before you can pray, walk into a church, read your bible or come to Him. God will take you where you are today, but he loves you too much to leave you that way. 

Remember, nobody is too broken for the grace of Jesus.

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.” —Titus 2:11
