We are all called to do a remarkable and productive work for the Lord! So many times I’ve shied away from my calling simply because I was concerned about what others would think or too fearful to share painful memories from my past. Does that sound familiar? Have you ever heard that little voice telling you that you are not worthy or you’re not good enough? I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard those same phrases.

Truth is, we all have done things that we are not proud of. The good thing is that God doesn’t hold it against us. How awesome is it to know that God took the liberty to blot out our transgressions for His sake (Isaiah 43:24) and reminds us that He will forgive our iniquities and will remember our sins no more (Hebrews 8:12).

I just want to encourage and remind you that God loves you. He has a plan and purpose for your life. You’re not here by accident. You are forgiven. Take a step forward to invite Christ into your life then allow him to use you for his glory. He can turn all those mistakes, failures and tests into testimonies to help someone else.
