So listen. No need to go into detail but chances are, we have all hurt someone who matters to us. We didn't mean to. We weren't trying to. But we hurt them. And when we realized what we'd done, we felt horrible. Sad. Embarrassed. Ashamed. Have you ever been there? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of something you'd done? Ever worried your mistakes make you a "bad" person?
If you can relate, let's want to talk about Good Friday. That's the day, 2,000 years ago, when Jesus hung on a cross, an innocent man dying between two criminals. But when Jesus looked at one of those "bad" guys, he didn't shame him or reject him. He welcomed and embraced him with love. We have done a lot of things that break God's heart, but just like that man discovered, Jesus shows us love when he looks at us too.
How would you describe the moment you knew God loved you?

About this Plan
If you're a hiker, you know a trail-breaker is someone who walks ahead, makes a new way, and invites others to follow. That's exactly what Jesus did for us. He broke a new trail with his birth, his life, his teachings, and then with his death and resurrection. In this 30-day devotional series designed for Lent, we’ll see how Jesus showed us a new way of living and knowing God.
