"As you see the awfulness of your sin, don't five up in despair. It was sinners that Jesus came to save. You don't have to make peace with God; instead God, through Jesus, is making peace with you. What amazing love! He is 'reconciling the world to Himself ' (2 Corinthians 5:19). He's romancing the hearts of His rebellious children with His gentle love. No early parent could be as patient with the faults and mistakes of His children as God is with those He's trying to save. No one could plead more lovingly with the rebel. No human lips ever poured out sweeter invitations that God does. All His promises and all His warnings are spoken in love.
When Satan tells you that you're too wrong to be made right, too filthy to be made clean, look to Jesus, your rescuer. Talk about Jesus and what He has done for you. It will encourage in the rough times to remember that Jesus has not given up on you, that He loves you, and that He will save you from yourself even now. Admit your mistakes. Admit that you have sinned, but tell the enemy that 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners' (1 Timothy 1:15) and that He loves you too much to let anyone tear you away from Him." pg41-42
