    When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8...

    Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against...

The Late Bloomer

  • He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:42'43 WEB.

    As they hung there bleeding on the crosses they had been nailed to, one of the two thieves beside Jesus asked Him to remember him when He came into His kingdom. Jesus replied, "Today, you will be with Me in paradise." So even after living a life of crime, with only moments left to live, this criminal made things right with God and was saved.

    Jesus told the thief three things: That it would be a blissful place (Paradise), in the immediate future (Today), and with Jesus (With Me). With a simple sentence and the right attitude, that man was saved. It could happen anywhere, at any time. For where there is breath, there is hope.

    I have met people who thought God would never forgive them for the things they had done, but the sin problem was taken care of at the crucifixion of Jesus. Jesus took away the sin of the universe (kosmos - John 1:29). If you let Jesus wash your sins away, you get to start completely fresh with a clean slate. Nothing you have done in the past will be held against you. Though our sins are like scarlet, He will wash us as white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).

    When you fall, get back up. This is an endurance race, and we may trip at times. We all need His forgiveness. Your pastor needs forgiveness just as much as you do. As long as you keep trying, you're going to make it. Your past can no longer stop you, and the Lord will help with your future. It's never too late to get started, and He can help you make what is left of your life count. So no matter the situation or what you may have done, there is still hope for you.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for forgiving me of the things that I have done wrong. Please fill my life with Your presence, and let me be a walking testimony of the power of God. Walk with me, speak to me and through me, and let me live my life for You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Amen!! God is so good to us. He is always willing to forgive us as soon as we confess our sins to Him. He is very merciful, and He loves us so very much. Nothing can ever separate us from the Love of our God! Seek God while you still can before  it is too late. Cry out to God for mercy and forgiveness, and you will be saved.
