Each day is a new beginning. Noone is ever too far gone that they cannot be saved. God’s love, grace and forgiveness for us, is boundless. At any moment in the day, upon waking up or at the end, realise that all you have to do is repent, turn away from your sin, and turn to God. His Hand is not too short that you cannot be saved.
The Lord said to Moses, “Is the LORD’s hand (ability, power) limited (short, inadequate)? You shall see now whether My word will come to pass for you or not.”

Reading on from Isaiah 59:2, the Word can actually grip your heart because we see that God knows how unrighteous and far from Him we are. I know that on first reading it, a fear gripped me, and I realised how unworthy I really WAS. However, it is by my (our) acceptance, belief and faith in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, that I (we) have received salvation. We are made worthy by the Blood of the Lamb, which is Jesus Christ.
