The same work God did through Christ long ago on a cross, is the work God does through Christ right now in you. Let him do his work! Let grace trump your arrest record, critics, and guilty conscience. See yourself for what you are—God’s personal remodeling project. No longer defined by failures but refined by them. Trusting less in what you do and more in what Christ did. Convinced down deep in the substrata of your soul that God is just warming up in this overture called life, that hope has its reasons and death has its due date.
God will change you, my friend. You are a trophy of his kindness, a partaker of his mission. Not perfect by any means, but closer to perfection than you’ve ever been. This happens when grace happens. May it happen to you!
