. A NEW BEGINNING AFTER FAILURE

Everyone makes mistakes. Some are small, others leave a deep mark. Guilt and shame can feel like walls that trap you in the past. But failure doesn’t have to define your future. There is always a way back. And it starts with grace.

There are moments we wish we could erase — things we said, choices we made, people we hurt. Maybe it wasn’t intentional. Maybe we were just lost. But the weight of regret can follow us, making us feel unworthy of love, of peace, or of a second chance.

But your story doesn’t end with failure.

One man who had failed badly — who had denied his closest friend three times — was later asked just one question: “Do you love me?” And with every answer, he was restored. His past didn’t cancel his future. (John 21:15–17)

In another story, a young man ran from everything good, wasted everything he had, and came home expecting rejection. Instead, his father ran to him, embraced him, and celebrated his return. (Luke 15:11–24)

These stories speak to every heart that feels like it’s gone too far. They remind us that grace isn’t about deserving — it’s about being welcomed anyway.

You may carry regrets that no one else knows about. You may be silently punishing yourself. But what if your worst mistake is not the end, but the beginning of something new?

You are not beyond redemption. There is still a purpose for your life.
