Every day we stumble, fall short, and do things that disappoint God. Maybe we let our tempers get the best of us. Or our words get ahead of our hearts and our old ways creep back into our lives.
But aren’t you thankful that God doesn’t wash His hands of us when we fail Him? He doesn’t turn His back on us or hold our confessed sins over our heads. Instead, He welcomes us to come to Him, repent, and begin again.
God knows we’re a work in progress, and He lovingly gives us His Holy Spirit to help change us from the inside out. Little by little, He chips away at our old sinful nature. And He teaches us to think differently, respond with grace, and become more like Jesus. But we have to be willing to let Him do that work.
God isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for a heart that’s willing to surrender, be corrected, and be transformed. So let’s invite Him into every corner of our hearts and allow Him to make us new, one day and one step at a time.
