Not A Lost Cause…

I was sitting in a restaurant recently when a song came on overhead that said repeatedly:

“I’m a lost cause, damaged beyond repair,”.

It went on to talk about how life had shattered their hopes and dreams.

Listening to it made me so sad because that song is full of lies and all the people in the restaurant were hearing it.

 

How many of them had the idea planted in their head that they were broken and beyond help?

What about those that heard it but weren’t really listening….were they still affected by it?

How many were already feeling broken and further discouraged by those lyrics?

 

The truth is NO ONE, and I mean absolutely NO ONE! is a lost cause!

No one is beyond help.

God can and will help anyone who looks to Him, believing He will, and asks Him to.

 

It only has to be a tiny belief.

The Bible calls it faith the size of a mustard seed.

Mustard seeds are not much bigger than a grain of salt but they can grow into a very large bush.

If you can have even the tiniest amount of faith in Jesus, look to Him, and ask Him to help and heal you – He will.

He loves you and wants to be in relationship with you.

He’s just waiting on you to invite Him into your life and situation.

 

No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, God still wants a relationship with you through His Son, Jesus.

There is absolutely nothing you’ve done that makes you beyond healing.

There is absolutely nothing you’ve done that can stop Jesus from wanting to save you.

As long as you are alive, it is not too late.

 

If you need healing and comfort, or if you are feeling like you are on the outside of life looking in, look to Jesus, ask Him to be part of your life and to show you the truth of who He is.

He can and will help you.

He can and will heal you.

No matter what you’ve done, it’s not too late and you are not too far gone.

You are not a lost cause.
