The ridiculous thing we live under called grace

Grace – Unmerited favour

This is my story. I had been in cycles of sin and had messed up many times & yet every time I did, God always welcomed me back. He didn't hesitate, he didn't withhold or ever once deviate from His character. There were times where I felt like I’d let Him down and I’d feel bad for putting Him through it all, especially for years. The truth is that if at the end of all of it He could have my heart then to Him it’s all worth it. For some people, it’s an instant thing like “I came to God & instantly my alcoholism was gone” however for some people it’s a process, a much longer process and that’s what I really wanted to talk about.

For those who are in God or new to Him and are in cycles, addictions & they aren’t instantly broken, take every day at a time, every single step with Him. In this journey, I’ve discovered that God is a Man of His word, that when He says He’s here, He’s HERE and when He says He’s forgiven you, He’s forgiven you. Even though I’ve messed up thousands of times, I am constantly met with love and forgiveness and this endless reservoir of grace telling me I’m His & I’m progressing & learning. The journey I’ve been on, despite me regretting all the decisions and mistakes I’ve made, has shown me who God is, who He truly is. No one could come and tell me otherwise because my life is now a testimony to His goodness, His kindness, His love, His faithfulness, and His trueness. There have been countless times where I should have died or been consumed by sin but because of Him I live and it’s because of Him alone. To all struggling or going through similar situations, focus on the good and progress. Take active steps to avoid the cycle repeating e.g. keep yourself accountable to someone, always go to Him and read and invest in the Bible. Remember that you aren’t alone in what you face and that there is a community of people just like you.
