You Are Not a Story of Abandonment
So many walk through life haunted by the echo of yesterday—shadows of past mistakes, regrets that cling like fog, and labels they were never meant to wear. But here’s the truth:
You are not the shadow of yesterday.
You are the beloved of the Father.
Before you ever knew yourself, He knew you. Before you ever reached out, He embraced you. At the cross, forgiveness wasn’t just offered—it was finished. Every debt was settled. Grace didn’t just whisper—it called you by name.
You were chosen, not because you earned it, but because He wanted you.
“This one is Mine,” He said. And He meant it.
Now, you are a new creation. A fresh start. A heart with a new story being written daily. Yes, you may not be where you want to be, but you are not where you used to be. And more importantly, grace is not done with you.
God’s work in you is not a rushed sketch—it’s a masterpiece in progress. Each day, each step, each scar, adds to your testimony. So don’t hide your story. Don’t fear your journey. Even your wounds have worth in His hands.
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
You are a living chapter of continuing grace.
Let that be your confession today. Let that be your comfort tomorrow. And let that be your courage for the days ahead.
