Backstory:
I watched a couple episodes of the Chosen recently that were powerful to me. I love the story of Mary Magdalene. In one episode she says something like that Jesus knows we can’t be holy without Him. In another episode, Mary went back into a couple of her old ways. 2 of Jesus’ disciples came and took her back to the camp where Jesus was. She was very emotional and ashamed about sinning again after being redeemed earlier by Jesus. She went to talk to Jesus after she came back. Jesus said to her, “Did you really think you would never sin again?” Jesus didn’t condemn her and His compassion for her in that moment is incredible. He has that kind of compassion and love for all of us as well.

Redeemed Over and Over Again

We are all human and we make mistakes over and over again,

Our Father in Heaven knew we would need a Savior then.

He sent His Beloved Son to redeem all mankind,

So that we could make it back to Him and our redemption find.

Jesus loves us so much

And any time of the day we can feel His Loving Touch.

He doesn’t shame us when we fail to measure up,

We just need to trust in Him to fill our faith cup.

Sometimes we may feel discouraged because we are so flawed,

But if we could see Jesus’ compassion and love for us, we would be awed.

Even though we make mistakes and mess up every day,

Jesus will never leave us and with us He will stay.

If you ask yourself the question, “If I mess up again, will God still want me?”,

The resounding answer will always be, “Yes!” and this should fill your heart with glee.

The grace of Jesus meets us where we are

And we should know that with Him by our side, we can go far.

Jesus whispers to us that we are loved no matter what we do,

And we can feel that incredible love especially when we are feeling blue.

That love never runs out,

And of that knowledge we should not doubt.

The Takeaway: We are all human and we constantly make mistakes every day. We might feel overwhelmed at times by our many weaknesses and shortcomings. We may even feel like giving up when we try to change. But we are never alone in this quest. Our Savior will always be there to redeem us when we fail and carry us on our hardest days.
