It’s a quiet lie most Christians carry: “I know God blesses… but I’m not really worthy of it.”
We’ve stumbled. We’ve failed. And some days, the weight of our past makes us believe God’s goodness is for other people—the strong, the clean, the spiritual. But not for us.
Yet the truth is clear: He blesses the unworthy because He loves us.
Scripture doesn’t hide the flaws of God’s people:
- Noah got drunk after surviving the flood (Genesis 9:21).
- Abraham lied about Sarah twice to save his own skin (Genesis 12 & 20).
- Jacob schemed and tricked his own brother (Genesis 27).
- David, a man after God’s own heart, committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 11).
- Elijah—after calling down fire from heaven—wanted to die (1 Kings 19:4).
- Peter tried to stop Christ’s arrest with a sword (John 18:10), then denied Him three times (Luke 22:61).
They weren’t strong. They weren’t clean. They weren’t perfect.
But they were chosen.
Because God doesn’t call the worthy. He makes the called worthy through Christ.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us…” – Titus 3:5 (NKJV)
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)
Friend, if you’ve fallen, you’re not disqualified—you’re a candidate for grace. If you’ve failed, you’re in the company of every great hero of faith. If you feel unworthy… you’re exactly where His love can reach you.
Reflection question: What lie has the enemy whispered that keeps you from accepting God’s blessing? What part of your past still makes you feel disqualified?
You may feel unworthy. But He blesses you anyway—because of who He is, not because of what you’ve done.
