Lately I’ve been blown away by how much God has been working in students lives. I’ve seen people grow, change, and start chasing after a real relationship with Him and it’s been so humbling. It reminds me that none of us can ever be “good enough” on our own. We all mess up. We all fall short. But the amazing thing is that God doesn’t ask us to earn His love. He just asks us to say yes to Him.
You don’t have to have it all together. You don’t need to be perfect, or check off some list before coming to Jesus. You can come exactly as you are—and He already loves you. My prayer is that you’ll believe that deep down, and that you’ll know His grace is for you too. This reminds me of one of my favourite passages from Romans:
Romans 5:1-8
"1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
