The Mended Rib: A 27-Day Devotional for Men Battling Lust and InfidelitySample
God’s Grace Is Sufficient
You will stumble and fail along the way, but God’s grace is always bigger than your failures. His grace gives you the strength to rise again, confess, and keep moving forward. No matter how many times you fall, God’s grace is more than enough for you, and it’s not based on your perfection but on His unfailing love.
I’ve experienced this truth firsthand. I indulged in countless sins, each one displeasing to God, and I suffered the consequences of my choices. My wife’s unhappiness, my absence as a father, and the mental weight I carried were all direct results of my actions and my refusal to repent. But even in the darkest moments, God’s grace never left me. He sustained me through it all, patiently waiting for me to turn back to Him.
What amazes me most is how God’s grace didn’t just keep me going—it transformed me. It gave me a new beginning, renewed my spirit, and brought freedom I never thought possible. His grace wasn’t just about covering my past; it became the power that moved me forward into healing and restoration. Even now, after everything I’ve been through, I’m reminded that His grace is still at work in my life, changing me every day.
No matter how far you’ve fallen or how deeply you’ve struggled, remember this: God’s grace doesn’t run out. It is always enough to bring you back, heal you, and move you into a future filled with hope.
Challenge
When you stumble, don't stay down. Confess it to God and get back up. His grace covers you.
Prayer
God, thank You for Your grace that is sufficient for me. Help me to rely on Your strength, not my own, when I feel weak. Amen.
