Have you ever found yourself alone somewhere, asking yourself the question, “Do I deserve love?” Because all around us we’ve seen love go wrong and we are fast running out of stories that speak of undying love, we lose hope and completely give up?
One of the things that causes us to think that we can never be loved truly is because we feel that love is something we earn. We feel we have to deserve love to be loved.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The following video is the powerful story of a gangster and drug addict who received love he felt he didn’t deserve:
Grant’s story is amazing in that it makes it clear that, though people judge us for what we’ve done and on the basis of external appearance, God doesn’t do that. No matter how far we go and no matter how bad the things are that we’ve done, He loves us unconditionally.
He calls all of us to come to Him in the very state in which we find ourselves. He doesn’t expect us to clean up our act first then approach Him. It’s about relationship and, like Grant says in the video, it’s about hearing God speak in your heart. Remember, no matter what you’ve done or how lost you think you are in porn, drugs, violence, depression, poverty or anything else, He is willing to give you another chance.
