I don’t know who needs this, but Jesus has never stopped loving you. Not once. Not for a moment. Not even when you gave up on Him.
Not when you ran. Not when you rebelled.
Not when you were in the middle of the sin you swore you’d never return to. Not even when you hated yourself so much you couldn’t look in the mirror.
He still loved you. When the world turned cold, when people failed you, when everything fell apart, His love stayed.
And not some soft, passive kind of love either. I’m talking about a love that chases you down in your darkest night. A love that steps into the dirt, into the mess, into the parts of your story you don’t even talk about. A love that doesn’t flinch at your brokenness. One that wraps you up in grace when you feel most ashamed.
This isn’t religion. This isn’t about behavior.
This is a Savior who laid His life down for you knowing how many times you’d mess up after saying “never again.” Knowing how many times you’d choose the world. Knowing how long it might take for you to come back.
And still, He wanted you.
You think you’ve gone too far? He already stretched His arms farther. You think you’re too dirty? He already washed it with His blood. You think you’ve disappointed Him? He knew everything, and still called you worth dying for.
You might not feel lovable. But His love isn’t based on your feelings. It’s based on His faithfulness. And He is faithful even when we are not. So if you’re sitting there tonight feeling like you’ve failed too much, fallen too hard, or drifted too far, please hear me:
He’s still waiting.
Still calling.
Still loving.
Still redeeming.
Jesus doesn’t love a future, more cleaned-up version of you. He loves you, right here, right now, in all your mess. So come back home.
Fall into His arms. And let His love do what no one else could ever do, heal you from the inside out.
You are still wanted. Still chosen. Still loved.
Always have been. Always will be.
