If you’re still breathing, God isn’t done with you.
Maybe you’ve felt like you’ve messed up too much, wandered too far, or fallen too deep for God to take you back. Maybe shame whispers, “You don’t deserve forgiveness,” or the enemy tells you, “It’s too late for you.”
But here’s the truth: God’s grace has no limit. His love has no boundary. And no one is too far gone for Him.
God’s Specialty: Redemption
Throughout the Bible, God repeatedly takes the broken, the lost, and the unworthy—and turns their stories into something beautiful. His specialty is redemption.
- Paul (formerly Saul) – A man who actively persecuted and killed Christians. Yet, after encountering Jesus, he became one of the most influential apostles in history (Acts 9).
- The Prodigal Son – A young man who squandered his inheritance on reckless living. But when he returned home, expecting rejection, his father welcomed him with open arms (Luke 15:11-32).
- The Thief on the Cross – A criminal sentenced to death, with no time left to “fix” his life. Yet, in his final moments, he turned to Jesus and was promised paradise (Luke 23:39-43).
These stories remind us that God doesn’t look at where you’ve been—He looks at where He can take you.
Your Past Doesn’t Disqualify You
One of the biggest lies people believe is that their past makes them unworthy of God’s love. But the truth is, Jesus didn’t come for the perfect—He came for the broken.
- He dined with sinners.
- He healed the outcasts.
- He forgave the worst of the worst.
Romans 5:8 says:
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
That means He didn’t wait for us to get it all together before loving us. He loved us at our lowest.
A Fresh Start is Always Possible
No matter what you’ve done, where you’ve been, or how far you’ve drifted, God is still waiting with open arms.
- He’s the father running to meet the prodigal son.
- He’s the shepherd leaving the 99 to find the lost one.
- He’s the Savior who willingly went to the cross so that no sin could keep us from Him.
God doesn’t just want to forgive you—He wants to restore you.
It’s Not Too Late
If you’re reading this, God is still calling you. He hasn’t given up on you. He’s been pursuing you, waiting for you, and loving you through every mistake.
Isaiah 1:18 says:
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
There is nothing He cannot cleanse, nothing He cannot heal, and no one He cannot redeem.
Are You Ready to Come Back to Him?
God isn’t asking for perfection. He’s asking for surrender.
Right now, wherever you are, you can turn to Him. Speak to Him. Tell Him you’re ready for a fresh start. He’s already waiting for you with open arms.
You are not too far gone. You are not beyond redemption. And your best days with God are still ahead.
