You are never too far for Jesus. When Jesus walked this earth he was often seen with sinners, the people that the religious leaders wouldn't associate with. This confused a lot of people, they thought if Jesus is so great why would he associate with people they consider to be unworthy. Jesus loves all people he doesn't care who you are, how much money you have, what you can do for him, where you have been, Jesus can redeem all sinners. He just wants you, he wants a relationship with you. If you are willing to put in the effort, accept his love for you, and love him in return that is all it takes. He came to save all people not just perfect people, not just sinners, but all people. Jesus paid too high of a price for you or someone else to count you out because of your past and your short comings. It's not up to you or anyone else to decide who is going to heaven. Follow Jesus example and do everything from a place of love, not of judgment.
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your love. Thank you that you love us all no matter who we are. Help us to love others like that and to not be judgmental. Help us to be humble and give us the courage to share your love with all people, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Scripture:
But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 9:12-13 ESV
