Too many people are sitting on the sidelines of life with no enthusiasm towards their future because they have made mistakes and experienced some setbacks. But, God is not looking for perfect people. If He were, we would all be disqualified. God is looking for people that have a heart that's right toward Him. If you have a heart that is seeking God and you wake up each day striving to do your best, then you do not have to live guilty and condemned. When those old thoughts come to mind saying, "You don't deserve God's blessings," just respond with, "You're exactly right. I know I don't deserve it, but that's what God's mercy is all about." The goodness of God will make miracles out of all your mistakes.
