Just a thought...

God wrote people with messy lives into His story. The Bible is full of very real people who had very messy lives. In fact, almost every person in the Bible led a messy life. For example, Job's life took a messy turn, the story of Esther, David with Bathsheba, Peter, Paul killing Christians, etc.

Think about your own family. I know most people are slightly embarassed by someone in their family. Maybe they are awkward or just embarassing to be around. There's probably someone in your family that everyone just turns their head to. Well, take a look at Jesus' family. I mean the Creator of the Universe wasn't born into royalty and that's one thing I love about Jesus. I mean, He could have been born into some rich palace and dominated but he came through a poor couple. He could have been born in a mansion but He choose a boring barn. God intentionally connected Jesus to His ancestors. He divinely orchestrated it through history fully knowing the outcome before it ever happened.

So remember this, know matter how messy your life gets. God is in control and wants to be in control of your life. And on top of that, He still wants to use it all. The good the bad and the ugly.
