Everyone’s life is a big mess! But by God’s grace, I’m not the man I use to be!
Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
My wife and I have been able to visit a lot of places in our life. Currently, we are out west dropping my youngest off for college. One thing I have noticed is no matter where we have had the privilege to travel to, you can always see trash. I have seen trash in back allies, on the streets, dumped in the fields, piled up inside vehicles, and yesterday we saw trash piled up for people’s homes.
With all that trash, the Lord reminded me of how much of a mess I was in before Jesus came into my life. I had so much trash there was no way I could clean it all up. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m still a mess, just not as big of one anymore! The only way all the trash (sin) got cleaned up was that the Lord so graciously saved my wretched soul when I called out to Him in repentance!
Have you called out to Him? No matter how big of a mess your life is, He can clean it up, washing your sin away, making you fit for Heaven! If you call out to Him, He will save you! Romans 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
