HAVE YOU EVER FAILED GOD?

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Be careful then dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning away from the living God.” Hebrews 3:12

TODAY’S MESSAGE: There is none perfect among us. We all have failures in our lives and do things that we want no one else to know about. With God, however, it is impossible to do something without him knowing about it. We can try our hardest to keep our promises and stay on the right road but because of who we are, imperfect, we are going to stumble. We must remain reminded that our God in heaven is a loving God. He showed his love for each of us by sending Jesus to cover for our sins. He died for them so that you and I can be forgiven. He has made it easy for us. We must acknowledge our wrongdoing and repent. We must then ask for his forgiveness and move forward continuing to represent Jesus in our lives in the best ways we know how. Yes, we have all failed God. I am sure that God has been quite disappointed in us when we do fail. But he is always there to pick us up. It is sometimes hard for us to understand just how much he loves us, even knowing that Jesus was sacrificed for us. No matter how much we try to love the way he does we never reach those heights. I know that in my own life I will get to a point when I think I am on the right path and doing well, when suddenly I slip and fall. I not only feel as though I have failed God, but I feel as though He may never trust me again in my journey home. However, that is not what scripture tells us. We are told that our sins are wiped away and never remembered again. Yes, we will stumble and fall but he is always with us. We may not be able to understand all of his ways but after accepting Christ Jesus into our lives we are always ready to get back on the horse and continue our journey. Have we ever failed God? Yes, we all at one time or another! But as a believer we understand that does not love us any less for our actions as long as we repent and ask for his forgiveness. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
