God doesn’t wait for you to measure up.
No, he measures up for you in every situation and in every way so that, when you don’t measure up, you receive mercy and not judgement.
God wants you as you are, He fights for you even when you don’t fight for yourself.
God daily uses the brokenness of the world around you as a tool of his transforming grace. Your present comfort is not his primary focus, your progressive transformation is.
“Grace doesn’t free us to live for us. The purpose of God’s grace is not to make your little kingdom of one work better. The purpose of God’s grace is to free you from your slavery to you so that you can live for a much, much better kingdom.”

“Coming to Jesus is more than just believing truth. When you meet Jesus you find a treasure more precious than this worls could ever offer.”

There are no “classes” of Christianity. There is no ladder you need to climb.
You don’t need to strive for a position.
The moment you believe in Jesus you are granted access. What a promise.
"My grace is sufficient for you,for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses,so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Cor. 12:9
God uses broken people to show his power. You’re never too far gone to be used by God.
You don’t have to hide your shame. You don’t have to hide your guilt. You can run into God’s presence in weakness and failure knowing full well that you will receive his love and his restorative grace.
