This is something we should all remind ourselves:
By: Ellen G. White
Talk courage to the people; lift them up to God in prayer. Many who have been overcome by temptation are humiliated by their failures, and they feel that it is in vain for them to approach unto God; but this thought is of the enemy’s suggestion. When they have sinned, and feel that they cannot pray, tell them that it is then the time to pray. Ashamed they may be, and deeply humbled; but as they confess their sins, He who is faithful and just will forgive their sins, and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. – {Te 107.4}
He is watching over you, trembling child of God. Are you tempted? He will deliver. Are you weak? He will strengthen. Are you ignorant? He will enlighten. Are you wounded? He will heal. The Lord “telleth the number of the stars;” and yet “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 147:4, 3. – {Te 120.5}
Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.
Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow’r that can never fail—
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.

“To some He is a name, but to me, He’s my everything– I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” – Heritage Singers, I am not ashamed
By: Ravi Zacharias-From his talk The lostness of man part 4 of 4
“Man is not just unethical, he is lost and dead.
If a man is only lost in guilt, what I have given you is bad news;
but he is lost in sin, and our great priviliege is to tell him we have a Saviour.
The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers
who have been deified by man is that
the moralist came to make bad people good.
Jesus came to make dead people live.
East or West, North or South, ancient or modern,
the problem is the same and the solution is the same.
Once we understand the heinousness of sin,
we will gain a deep and lasting gratitude for God.
I was 17 years old on a bed of suicide in Delhi when I gave my life to Jesus Christ,
I was not a bad man becoming a good man,
I was a dying man who was now going to live for a cause that was greater than he was.”
-Ravi Zacharias
