"But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5: 8
Dustin Stradley woke up on a jailhouse floor
in an orange jumpsuit—with no idea how he
got there. Drinking was out of control. When
he was released on bail, he went home and
looked in the mirror.
“I was disgusted with what I saw. And so,
I punched the mirror and shattered the
mirror and fell down and just started
bawling, crying.”
Dustin’s dad gave him a Bible with this
note saying, “This is God’s love letter,”
and Dustin did gave his heart to Christ.
“I realized God loved me, period. Even
though I did all these things, God loved
me exactly like I am. And He wants to
have a relationship with me now.”
God made us in His
image, but we’ve all
broken the mirror by our sins, addictions,
and flaws. God restores us! His love for
us enables us to love Him in return.
Love Him with all your heart, soul,
mind, and strength today.
"God met me right there, and He’s doing
the same thing for all of us. It’s not
about
earning more of God’s love. He loves you
right now, exactly like you are."
