Do you ever feel like a failure? It's easy to sometimes put on a good face to those who don't know you well. It's not as easy to keep that on with those you live with day in and day out. On one hand I find great strides in the grace of God in many areas of my life, and on the other hand I am painfully reminded that I am far from perfect. Thankfully He is the perfect One and if I abide in His love then I find redemption for every area or struggle in my life.
The truth is that I am not a failure, yes I have failings and short comings but in no way does Jesus see me as a failure. We have all been bought and redeemed by the blood of the lamb and that is the truth.
Let God be true and every man a liar. By nature we are hypocrites right? I mean let's not fool ourselves into thinking otherwise. One moment we say one thing, and the next do something contrary to what we just said. We are creatures given over to lies and pride if left on our own. Thanks to God in Christ there is redemption which He has lavished on us that we should be called Children of God. So take courage my friend your redemption is near. Do not wallow in shame or guilt but rise up and take hold of truth. You are more valuable than you know and the blood of Jesus has paid the price for every fault, shortcoming, and sin.
