“You are so much more than the worst thing you’ve ever done.”

— Father Gregory Boyles, Founder of Homeboy Industries

I think we all need to hear that every once in a while. When we fail, when we screw up, when we step out of bounds, outside of God’s will, it can feel as if we’re so dirty we can never be clean again. Most of us have mistakes in our lives that we repeat over and over. So, forget feeling bad about a one time offense. We’re constantly in repentance mode. This time it’s for real!

But no matter what you’ve done, where you are, or how you got there, this is true. In God’s eyes, you (and me) are so much more.
