The Bible tells us in Hosea 4:6 that God's people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. Like the people in Hosea's day, I too was lost in a vast wilderness because I didn't have the slightest clue how to find my way out of that wilderness.

I really thought, like many people, that it was too late. I'd messed up so many God-given opportunities and remained in a state of muddled confusion because I didn't know the truth, the way, and the life, that is Christ.

I had been "born again," but I didn't know what it meant to live and walk in the Spirit. I didn't know the powerful truth of God's word. I didn't trust the Bible, and I didn't obey it because I didn't believe it with all of my heart. I did things the only way I knew how: my way. And that lead from one miserable failure to the next. Until the Spirit of God opened my blind eyes and penetrated my unbelieving heart, I was without hope.

Only God can and will change us when if and when we trust, believe, and obey him. I'm here to tell you that change is possible, but only through Christ. It is never too late. I know what it is to live a hopeless life. I lived it for forty long years, and when I just knew it was too late, God knew what was about to happen. I had no idea. During some of the worst circumstances in my life, God stepped in and everything changed because he changed what I could not. He changed my heart. You and I need changed hearts, and God is the only one who can do that.
