Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)
When you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you became a member of God’s family. As a result, you have His power inside of you to live a great life. But to walk out the incredible plans He has for you, you need to spend time in His presence and believe you have access to His power.
I need to make something completely clear. I’m not saying that you have to earn God’s blessings by spending time with Him. It also isn’t necessary to clean up your behaviour before you can expect to experience His love and favour. It’s yours as a gift.
You still will want to stay away from sin because of its incredibly destructive effects on your life, but perfection isn’t required to earn God’s help. In fact, it’s the other way around. You need God’s help to overcome! You need to access the strength and power He has placed within you to break free from bad habits, addiction, anger, jealousy, hopelessness or any other problem that plagues you.
You can come boldly to God for help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). He freely gives it! He’s not looking at your track record before deciding if He will empower you to overcome what you’re facing. He won’t hold back blessings if you mess up.
We all make mistakes but God still welcomes us with open arms. Spend time with Him today and remember that His power is already working within you to change.
