NEEDED BY GOD, WANTED LOVED GOD: Three Truths for Overcoming Shame, Finding Purpose, and Living in Grace

WHAT IF THE THING YOU THINK DISQUALIFIES YOU IS NOT THE THING GOD SEES?Shame tells you that you have gone too far. Addiction tells you that you are broken beyond repair. Failure tells you that you have wasted too much of your life to matter anymore.But what if those voices are lying?Needed by God, Wanted by God, Loved by God is a Christian book about the truth that shame works hardest to make you forget: your life still matters to God.Written for people wrestling with addiction, regret, failure, loneliness, shame, or the feeling that they have somehow become too broken to be useful, this book explores three foundational truths: - You are needed by God. Your purpose was not erased by the years you lost, the mistakes you made, or the damage you carry.- You are wanted by God. God does not merely tolerate your return. Like the father in Jesus' parable, He runs toward you.- You are loved by God. His love is not a reward for becoming good enough. It is the foundation from which transformation begins.Through Scripture, stories of biblical men and women, reflections on addiction and shame, and honest exploration of grace, this book challenges the belief that you must first fix yourself before you can come home to God.It is not a promise that the road ahead will be easy. You will still have difficult days. You may fall again. The old voices may return. But your failures do not get the final word.Throughout the book, three simple sentences become a daily declaration: I am needed by God. I am wanted by God. I am loved by God.What begins as a declaration can become a way of seeing yourself. And what changes the way you see yourself can begin to change the way you live.You are not your worst mistake. You are not the years you lost. You are not the shame you carry.You are still here.And God is not finished with you.
