It’s Never Too Late to Start Over - Final

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 & Revelation 2:4 KJV

I don’t care what your failure is in life. You are not washed up unless you choose to quit, unless you choose to give up, unless you choose to reject the grace of God. The choice is condemnation or confession. You can either live in condemnation or you can confess it and get on with life. Forget the former and focus on the future.

4. Trust God to work it all out.

In Romans 8:28, “We know that to those who love God, who are called according to his plan, everything that happens fits into a pattern for good.” God is working out a pattern in the fabric of our lives that’s going to be beautiful. It all fits. But sometimes from our point of view it looks like a jumble, a mess. We look at our lives and think, “How can anything good come out of this?”

I used to worry about the source of the problems that come into our lives a lot more than I do now. Is this problem from the devil? Is this problem from other Christians? Is this problem from the Lord? Is this problem something I’ve brought on myself? The longer I grow as a Christian, the more I think I understand that it doesn’t really matter the source of your problem. It doesn’t matter if the devil brought it on or other people caused it or if you caused it yourself. God will still use it. God has a way of overriding our big mistakes. He works them all out.

God wants to take your greatest failure—that area of greatest failure that you want to hide and keep secret—and He wants to turn it into your greatest strength. He wants to make a life message out of it. What is your area of weakness? Whatever it is, that’s what God wants to work on, if you stop regretting and stop having a pity party and let Him work in your life.

GOD'S LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES!

God's love is so great, it will descend to any depths to save, go any lengths to rescue. He can love man in his lowest estate and save him in his hour of need from his most pitiful plight! For Him there is no stopping place, no limit to which He will not go to save a poor lost soul with His infinite love and unlimited mercy! He stoops to the level of our need!

"The Love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen can ever tell!
It goes beyond the highest star, and even to the lowest Hell!"

Look at the mercy of Christ! "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth" (Mat.12:40 KJV). He went down into the bowels of Hell and was one of them in order to preach the Gospel of deliverance to the spirits that were in prison there!

"Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit?--Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into Heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in Hell, behold, Thou art there! If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me!" (Ps.139:7-10 KJV).
