b'When you mess up or wander away from God, you might feel like that\\u2019s it. You might think, \\u201cThe things I\\u2019ve done are too much. God couldn\\u2019t forgive me.\\u201d \\nBut that is not true. The amazing thing about God\\u2019s grace is that it\\u2019s not too late for you. There is still hope for you even after you mess up. God knows none of us is perfect. Ever since the first humans went their own way against God, we all sin and do wrong. But God didn\\u2019t give up on us. Though we all rejected Him, He still loves us. That\\u2019s why He sent His Son, Jesus, to this world, to live and die and rise again for us. Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins.\\nAll of us have sinned. All of us. We have all fallen short of deserving anything from God\\u2014but He gives incredible grace to us anyway. Ephesians 2:4-5 says, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God\\u2019s grace that you have been saved!)\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nWhen you have messed up, even in a big way, it\\u2019s not too late. You can repent by turning away from sin and coming to God. You can ask for His forgiveness, and He will give you new life. God can make all things new. He can help you leave the past behind.\\nGod\\u2019s grace truly is beautiful and amazing. Because of what Jesus has done for us, we can live without shame from the past (Psalm 34:5; Romans 8:1). We can live freely, knowing that God is with us, and we can look forward to eternal life with Jesus when He returns. Thank you, God, for your grace. \\u2022 Bethany Acker\\n\\u2022 Have you ever felt like what you\\u2019ve done is unforgivable, like there\\u2019s no going back? Take heart. Jesus\\u2019s death on the cross was for you, and His grace is big enough to cover your sin\\u2014all of it. It\\u2019s not about what you\\u2019ve done; it\\u2019s about what Jesus has done. \\n\\u2022 If you\\u2019d like to know more about God\\u2019s grace and what it means to put your trust in Jesus, who is a trusted Christian in your life you could talk to?
