I know that feeling, and it makes me think of a story in the Bible, as well, about a man named Saul.

He had spent years hunting down and harassing early followers of Jesus, convinced that he was doing the right thing. Every day, he tried to enforce what he thought was justice.

But one day, as he was traveling, blinding light surrounded him, and he heard a voice: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” It was Jesus.

That moment shattered Saul’s pride and opened his heart. God gave him a new name—Paul—and a new mission: to spread Jesus’ message of grace, hope, and freedom.

Your past does not define your future. No mistake or failure is too far for His grace. Do you want new life?

Cry out to Him: “Jesus, please forgive me and guide my life for Your purposes.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

As the years had gone by, her husband had been abusive to her and her children; she finally left him. She realized she needed to come home to her Heavenly Father.

There is a verse in the Bible, written by an ancient prophet named Isaiah, in chapter 50 that perfectly describes her decision.

He says,

“… watch out, you who live by your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires."

The result "... you will fall down in great torment.”

Yet, after years of struggle, this broken woman received grace. She told me that now she would begin a new life walking with Jesus.

We are always welcomed home; the Father is waiting with open arms.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

She had just a handful of flour and a little olive oil—just enough for one final meal for herself and for her son.

Then a man came, Elijah, a prophet, and he asked her for a small loaf of bread. She easily could have said no, but instead, she chose to give away what little she had.

But somehow…her jar of flour and jug of oil never ran out! And she discovered that God provides in miraculous ways because He loves us.

God still does this today. He takes what seems little, and creates abundance- abundant life! That was His promise.

Do you want to know His life-changing love?

Pray with me: “God, I bring you the little I have. Forgive me and fill me with hope today. I trust You, I’m yours forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 17:14-16
