Has there ever been a time in your life that you’ve felt you’re “too far gone” for God’s love to reach you? Perhaps you’ve committed a heinous crime against society…rape, murder, theft, or the like, and now you’re in prison. Maybe it was a sin against your spouse…an affair. Perhaps you’re an addict of drugs or alcohol. Maybe you belong to God, you’re saved, born-again…a Believer, but you’ve strayed far from home, wallowed in the sinful life you lived before you come to know the Savior, and now you wonder if God’s mercy and grace will stoop to hear your prayers asking for forgiveness.
When God looks at us, it’s through eyes of love. He doesn’t label us.

found something my husband wrote a long time ago. It was hidden in a drawer…deep within the pages of a note-book. When I read it…I thought about the following verses in Isaiah. Take a look—then, take heart! God WILL make a way…through, and out of whatever predicament you find yourself in! -anita

In 2005, a friend of mine challenged me to write poetry. Up to that time, I had only written stories for my grandchildren. We argued back and forth as to my abilities to write something other than children’s stories. That very night, God came to me and woke me from a dead sleep. He said: “Get up…and write this NOW!” I wrote the following on the back of an envelope, using only a night-light. -anita

Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. -Genesis 32:24

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.” Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. “Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.” Matthew 12:43-45
My dad used many illustrations in his sermons; the following story was based on one of these illustrations, and I re-wrote it for my grandchildren in a way that they could understand.
You may want to read it to your children and explain how Jesus can wash us clean and save our souls! -anita

The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe. Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful…Jesus will save! -Fanny J. Crosby 1869 and William H. Doane, 1870
