• 0:19
  Speaker 1: mercy because of the great love with which He loved
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: us even when we were dead, and our trespasses made
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: us alive. Together with Christ by grace, you have been saved.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to think that God's blessings are
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: reserved only for those who do everything right, those who
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: never fail, those who never slip, those who never make mistakes.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But the beauty of God's mercy, Come on, Jesus, is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't work that way. Even when we stumble,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: even when we stray, God's mercy covers us. His mercy
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't hold our past mistakes against us. It doesn't calculate
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: how many time we failed or how far we've gone
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: off course. Instead, he reaches into the mess and begins
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to bring life and restoration. The mercy of God is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: so powerful. It gives you a chance to rise again.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It gives you a chance to start fresh and to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: believe that your future can still be filled with hope.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It turns setbacks into setups and mistakes into stepping stones.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But this mercy requires your boldness. You've got to believe it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You've got to refuse to let guilt, condemnation, or even
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: shame define your story. I know, I get it. The
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: enemy will try to whisper you messed up too many times,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you blew it. God's and not listening to you. Who
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: do you think you are? Oh, but you got to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have an answer for him. You've got to know already
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that you're a royal priesthood, that you're a chosen generation.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You've got to know that you're a child of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Most High God, that you're redeemed, that you're forgiven, that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you are covered by God's mercy, no matter how far
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You've wondered, no matter how many mistakes, big or small,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that you made. God's mercy is bigger. He not only forgives,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but he also restores. He can take what seems lost,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and then he can transform it into something greater than
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you ever could imagine. So you step forward in faith,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: trusting that His mercy is working behind the scenes in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your life, making something new, turning the impossible into possible,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and giving you a fresh start. Every day. Father, thank
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you that you are so rich in mercy and that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: your love never fails us. Even God, when we stumble
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and go our own way, help us to rest in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: your mercy and your love and believe that you can
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: bring beauty for our mistakes. Thank you for making us
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: alive in Christ and giving us a fresh start in
