Prodigals, rebels, misfits, humble, weak, and sinners, there is hope for all of US!
Come just as a beggar to the presence of the King, come as you are, come to Jesus!
Grace is a kingdom and there's a seat at the table and a crown just waiting for you, so come inside! It's not the perfect ones that He wants and uses. He chose to pour His glory in clay pots. Those who are imperfect, broken, and walk with a "limp".
The history of the church is filled with examples of how God works through hurt and broken people. Abraham is called the “Father of Faith,” but he had so little faith that he twice told his wife to lie to save his own life.
Joseph was hated, abused, and abandoned by his brothers, but he became a prince and God used him to save his own family.
Elijah suffered from depression and even asked God to take his life, yet he became one of the greatest prophets in history and was eventually taken up to heaven by God, making him immortal.
David was an adulterer and murderer, and he was called “a man after God’s own heart”
Rahab – Was a prostitute who is named in the genealogy of Jesus.
Peter was anything but stable, he was impulsive, but Jesus told him, “You’re a rock!” He turned Peter into a rock of stability for the early church.
Paul was a pharisee who persecuted Christians before becoming one and God used him tremendously.
“I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength” Hebrews 11:32-34
“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty” I Cor 1:27
We all come as beggars to the presence of the King, wishing we could offer more, but all He desires is our sins and our willingness to surrender. Use your limp to depend on God and walk through the door of His grace, love, and forgiveness.
Don't hold anything back, He will use your greatest weakness for His glory!
Let's God keep using our weaknesses, let's crawl to the finish line if we have to, let's keep believing, and let's KEEP LOOKING UP!!

COME TO JESUS AND GET SAVED TODAY!
Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood for you, died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so we can have eternal life with Him.
The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!
The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER! "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
