For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 Holy Bible Amplified Version
If we were all perfect Jesus would not have been required to suffer and die that horrible death on the cross.
Jehovah loves us all.
What pierces His heart is those that reject Him.
However, when we turn from our wicked ways and repent unto Him He is quick to forgive us and lovingly accept us completely into His Holy family.
That of course does not mean that we are perfect after we come to Christ. I believe He allows some sinful attributes to remain in us to keep us humble, both before Him as well as to our fellow man.
Do not believe the lies satan tells you that you are not good enough or that you are filthy before a Holy Gods eyes.
I know, I fell for that scam but the Holy Spirit rescued me and share the truth that when I repent I am forgiven and am gladly welcomed back into my Heavenly family.
Read your Bible, especially the Old Testament and you will discover that many of the most wicked sinners became the greatest saints.
It will happen to you as well when you surrender your heart, mind and body unto our healing loving Father in Heaven.
“Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the One who loves you most.” A. W. Tozer
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) for blessing me with a beautiful Savior that made it possible to be a child of Your Divine family. Thank you for being so patient and persistent in moulding me into the child You desire to be in Your Holy family. I exalt You in the name of He who perfect blood made it all possible Jesus Christ. Amen Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.

Praise God! This is the verse that changed everything for me. I believed that lie too that I was past saving, even though I had promised God I would do my best to not be the horribly, wicked person that I was. I knew I had broken all the commandments and probably then some. But these verses changed all that for me. Beautiful message. LORD, thank You for continuing to bless Joseph :):)

So well said. I think one of the most comforting things is that there is NOT ONE PERSON (besides Jesus) who is not flawed in the bible.
Every single one of them is a human being in need of redemption. There is none good…no not one. He wanted to kill Moses (MOSES!) because he wouldn’t surrender and I had to read that like 8 times because I never knew that.
And that is what makes it so much more beautiful. There is no such thing as perfection except knowing and following the One who is. The new creature is who God sees because we are trapped fighting in this fleshly body until we die and get the new one.
