Baby sometimes you are that one
Mary Magdalene had SEVEN demons. Seven. Sis was walking around like a whole haunted house᧔and yet she was the first to see the empty tomb. 퇽혀퇽?퇼?
The woman at the well? Married five times and still flirtin᧙ in the heat of the day. And yet, she᧙s the first person Jesus ever told, Hey, I᧙m the Messiah. Not a priest. Not a king. A woman with a past and a pitcher.
Let that sink in.
So before you disqualify yourself because of what you did, who you were, or what they still call you behind your back᧔remember this:
Your past doesn᧙t cancel your purpose. Your past points to your purpose.
God isn᧙t intimidated by your mess. He specializes in it. That addiction? That heartbreak? That jail cell, bad relationship, or wild season you barely crawled out of? He uses that to reach the people still stuck in it.
And to the ones sittin᧙ on the pew polishin᧙ halos instead of bringing people to the baptism pool᧦ ask them gently:
퇽혉퇼? So᧦ how many folks have YOU led to Jesus this year?
Go ahead. I᧙ll wait. ᶳ퇽
Don᧙t you dare give up on yourself. You haven᧙t gone too far᧔you᧙re exactly who He came for.
