1 Timothy 1:15-16

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst."

The Word of the Lord

I can relate to this a lot because many times I do feel as though I'm the worst sinner (even though on a grand scale of sins it really isn't THAT bad, though anything unholy is bad in the eyes of God) because there was a period of time I would just keep on going on sinful cycles but then return to Christ and "truly" repent. And it's this weakness of the flesh and lack of self control, which made my relationship with God feel like an "abusive" relationship on my end. I mean, how many times I have sinned against the Lord God but when I came back God was still so willing to forgive! Truly God is merciful! In the next verse Paul writes:
"But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life."

So just remember whenever you feel like you're the biggest loser/sinner, don't worry! Because Paul has already claimed that spot! ,showing that even the worst of sinners are not far from God's Grace. Repent and believe my brothers and sisters, stay humble, pray!
