It was 1941 and the University of Texas football team was ranked #1.
Noble Doss dropped the ball. One ball. One pass. One mistake. It’s haunted him ever since. “I cost us a national championship!” he says.
Memories of dropped passes stir a lonely fear, a fear we’ve disappointed people and we’ve come up short. A ruined marriage. Angry kids. Our past pursuing us like a posse. Can God forgive me?
Mismanaged fear leads to sin; to hiding from God. To hiding in 80-hour workweeks, temper tantrums, and religious busyness.
Yes, we’ve disappointed God. But no, God has not abandoned us! Jesus loves us too much to leave us in doubt about His grace. I John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace!
LIVE—forgiven!
