A friend of mine, Nicky Cruz, was once diagnosed as irredeemable. Psychologists said he was somebody who could not be salvaged. He was too damaged, too violent, too dark. Yet this man, after coming to Christ, went on to preach the gospel to multiples of millions of people.
Never decide that somebody is beyond the reach of God because of what somebody says about them today. There are people all around us who may look hopeless, but God sees what their lives can become when His mercy and power reaches them. Somebody may not get the victory if you and I are unwilling to go.
That's why today, I want to cross the river from where I am to where they are. And I personally don't care what it costs me. Look Beyond what a person is today and be willing to fight for what God is able to do in that life. Talk to God about it.
It's time to pray.
