"So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth"
More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz basically sums it up. Nothing you have done will ever stop grace from covering you. There is nothing we can do to escape it. All we can do is choose to accept it. Even when we turn away from grace, its still all over us, thanks to the cross. We listen to the lies that what we have done, the places we have been, the people we have hurt, the past choices we have made have disqualified us from the love of our Father. Jesus doesn't look at what we have done, He looks at who we are, who were created to be, His prized possession. He looks into the hearts of His children, not at our blemished pasts. We can tell ourselves how much we don't deserve it, which we don't, but that will never change the fact that it is offered to each and everyone of us at every moment of everyday. Thats what true love is, baby! If He forgives the mistakes of prostitutes (Luke 7:36-50), sorcerers (Acts 8:9-13), and a Jew persecutor (Acts 22:2-10), then He will surely forgive mine and your as well :)
PRAISE to Jesus that my church will be funding me by paying for my staffing fees for the 6 months living in Kona!!! This is a ginormous blessing! All funds that come in from here on out will go towards my 3 month outreach. Thank you for all your support, prayers, and words of encouragement. Everything prayer you say, every dollar you donate is going towards the building of the Kingdom :)
