"All that is gold does not glitter..."

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

 -J. R. R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings

No matter how deep or dark your mistakes; God can redeem you.

No matter how far you have fallen or how large your sin; God can forgive.

It is in Jesus Christ that the Christian's worth is found.

"And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins" Hebrews 8:12 NLT.

Not only does He forgive and forget ALL of our past sins, but Christ gives us glory and a kingdom. For, we are joint heirs of eternity with Jesus Christ our Lord.

"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him" Romans 8:16-17 NASB.
