Have you ever asked, "How could God possibly use an imperfect person like me?" Sometimes, it can feel like we have made too many mistakes, taken too many shortcuts, or are too flawed for God to want to have anything to do with, much less use, us in a significant way.
I've been there. I'm sure you have too.
But here's the truth. We are never too far gone for God to use us. And God never gives up on us either!
He never gave up on Jacob in the Bible, and He'll never give up on you.
Sometimes we need that reminder. Sometimes the people around us need to hear it for the first time.
God's grace > than our biggest mistakes.
Max Lucado has been preaching and writing about God's grace for most of his life, and there is no one I'd rather hear talk about this subject—the gift of all gifts through Christ Jesus.
Now, for the first time, Max is sharing with us a study of God's grace, mercy, and endless love through his newest book + Bible study, God Never Gives Up On You.
… And you're invited to join us for the FREE online Bible study with the community at FaithGateway. Registration is now open!
How much do you know about Jacob?
Even though Jacob was a trickster and a manipulator, and even though he was sinful and flawed as we all are, God still chose to bless him. His story reminds us God's grace never quits. God never gives up on you.
God gave Jacob plenty of opportunities to learn his lesson and change his ways. But he never did. Incredible. But what's even more incredible is that God never gave up on him. He never turned away. He never threw up His hands and quit. Grace. Grace. Grace. ~ Max
No matter what, God is present with us and is eager to bless us. He can turn our circumstances around for our good and the good of others. He speaks to us if we listen, and He wants us to lean on Him and trust Him. He met Jacob in his lowest moment, and He meets us in ours in spite of our faults and waywardness… because He loves us!
By God's grace, a life of wrong turns can be turned into a life of worship — a life that looks to God rather than yourself, that focuses on His grace rather than your flaws, and one that points others to the life-changing love of Jesus. ~ Max
God's grace is endless. He will never stop pouring out His grace upon us.
