Everybody has got a story to tell. No matter how similar, it's different from anyone elses. It molds us to who we are. It affects how we live our life. Our story could bring back wounds that haven't healed or it can bring crazy amounts of joy. My story isn't rainbows and unicorns.. I mean whose story is? I have done many things that cause me happiness only in the moment, but then a sense of regret after. No matter what we have done, there is a pretty amazing person who gave it all for us.
Before I begin, I want you to know I am not writing this as a professional writer. I am so very far from being worthy to write down what I am about to.
I don't want you to think that I am tricking you to read something that is about Jesus. If you don't want to read this, I'm not making you. But what I am about to say changed my life and continues to change it. Before I was a Christian, I was very much like "Ugh do we really have to go to church?" I thought that going to church was such a burden. I only prayed when something bad was happening in my life or I blamed God for anything bad happening. I drank alcohol and had unhealthy relationships to run away from the death of my close cousin... I never thought that I was worthy of forgiveness for all the crap I did. But someone thinks I am worthy of it and He thinks you are worthy too!
God created us for us to have a personal relationship with him, but sin happened. Sin sucks. Seriously. Sin is defined as act of rebellion or a passive indifference towards God. So sin includes everything from gossiping to hatred to not taking time out for God. So because we sinned we were separated from God. Because we sinned, there was a price that needed to be paid. So God gave us his one and only son for us because it was the payment that needed to be paid. I mean who does that?! Could you imagine any human giving up their son for you? He loved us so much and wanted us back that he gave it all for us! He gave his greatest treasure so that we could be forgiven!! Now God did all this for us, but we need to respond. Now you may think, if God is the real deal then why doesn't he make known to everyone who He truly is. God wants US to choose HIM! He doesn't want to force us to worship Him and He doesn't want to force us to live our life for Him. He wants us to go all in with Him! So this needs to be our response. Either we don't accept Him yet or we go all in with Him. He knows your heart and He knows how sincere it is. Let God be on the throne of your life. Let down all of your walls of perfection and let Him be perfect for you. Living He loved you, dying He saved you, buried he carried your sins far away..
And if you are dealing with what you think as too much sin, I get it. You think you have already done so much what is the point? When you make the life changing decision to let go and let God, all of your sins are washed away.. For there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
I am praying for you and I pray that you will open your heart to Jesus. If you have any questions, any at all please don't hesitate to ask.. God is so so good and He will never leave you or forsake you.
