Matthew 5:3
Have you ever felt that your failures define you? Judah's story with Tamar shows that even in moments of failure, redemption is possible through repentance and grace. Judah’s betrayal of Tamar led to desperate actions, yet when confronted with his wrongdoing, he humbly admitted, “She is more righteous than I.” Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:3, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Recognizing our spiritual poverty and brokenness opens the door to God’s kingdom. Like Judah, when we face our flaws and seek justice and repentance, God’s grace can transform our lives. No matter your past mistakes, a humble heart allows God to rewrite your story with redemption and hope.
