If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Adultery. Abortion. Addiction. That’s just three of the many transgressions that satan tries to hold over us. Maybe you can’t forgive sins you’ve committed. Maybe you deem these sins – and yourself – too far gone.

That’s a lie. That’s a lie that satan is whispering in your ear – maybe screaming – to stop you in your tracks. To make you remain stagnant.

Don’t believe it.

God promises in 1 John 1:9 that He will cleanse us from any sin we’ve committed. We have to sincerely repent. We have to want forgiveness.

We are never too far gone for God. There can be beauty from these ashes. Even though it seems impossible, God can wipe our slates clean. We really can start fresh this new year.

I’ve seen it. I’ve seen marriages healed. People healed. Addictions gone. Hearts broken. Hearts mended.

God can.

God will.

God has.

God promised.
