Peter, one of Jesus’ closest friends, knew that feeling well. He was bold and passionate, full of confidence. But when Jesus was arrested, Peter’s courage unraveled. He denied knowing Jesus not just once, but three times!

Days later, the risen Jesus met Peter. Jesus offered Peter a chance to begin again.

Jesus does this for us today. He’ll restore you, even when you’re broken. God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes, and He will wash away all your wrongs through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Jesus is waiting to meet you, right where you are—offering the same grace that changed Peter’s life forever.

Why not invite Him to restore your life with His love? And do it today.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Actually, the opposite is true. Jesus restores you to who you were created to be—He helps you discover the truest version of your unique self, in Jesus.

Jesus encouraged His followers when He said, “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” So, He doesn’t erase your uniqueness—He wants to shine through it.

He gives purpose to your gifts and to your talents. And He brings freedom from fear, and joy that lasts through difficult days. Jesus wants to give you life to the fullest.

If you want that, you can pray to Him and just ask Him, “Jesus, I give You my life. As I learn to follow You, make me the person that You created me to be. And thank You. Amen.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

There are so many voices telling us what to think, what to believe, what to do—unending ideas about God and Jesus. Confusing voices.

Do you feel confused? Jesus asked His friend, Peter, a simple question in Matthew 16. Maybe He’s asking you this same question, He said, “Who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Savior, the son of the living God.”

What about you? Do you believe He is your Savior? Do you believe that He is the Son of the Living God?

If your answer is yes, then your next step is so clear. Follow Him. It’s simple, come to know Him and discover Him.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

You may have believed that God would want you to clean up your life before coming into His holy presence.

Jesus once said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come not to call those who think they are righteous, but those who know that they are sinners.”

A doctor doesn’t wait until the patient is healed to help them. In the same way, Jesus doesn’t wait for perfection. He wants to meet you right in the messy places of your life and begin healing you from the inside out.

Don’t hold back because of shame, fear, or feeling you’re “not good enough.” We’re not good enough, none of us. That’s why Jesus came. He gave His life so we could be forgiven, restored, and made new.

Today, you can pray, “Jesus, I can’t fix myself. I need You. Take my life and make me whole.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Think of how much we love ourselves!

Jesus is commanding us to care as much about others as we do our own needs and desires, and longings. This seems impossible to me. It is impossible!

Even the most servant-hearted person, the most sacrificial person, will care more about their own needs than those around them.

Jesus knows this, which is why He came. He came, and He laid down His life. He cared more about us than Himself.

This truth changes us. When we receive it, when we believe it, He gives us the power to really love others— to care about their needs.

Have you received this truth today? That He came for you?

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Scripture Reference: Matthew 22:39

Maybe you’ve thought following Jesus is just like that: a bunch of rules. But that’s not what Jesus came to bring. He came to offer a relationship—not a rulebook.

Listen to the words of Jesus: “...I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”

Life with Jesus isn’t about rules and punishment. It’s about staying close to Him. Like branches connected to a healthy vine. Jesus longs for you to know Him, and to walk with Him, to let His love nourish you. That’s freedom, not burden.

So today, maybe you’re tired of trying to “be good enough.” You don’t have to prove yourself. You can simply turn to Jesus and say, “I want to know You. Please forgive me. I give You my life.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

It can happen to any one of us.

God has this promise for you today, if you want it…He says, “...I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.”

This can seem impossible and scary… but it is good, and it is possible through Jesus. On the cross, He carried our sin; through His resurrection, He offers new life, transforming us from the inside out. He did it for me—and He will do it for you, if you ask Him.

A new heart doesn’t mean instant perfection; it’s a journey.

If you want it, pray with me now: “Jesus, I need a new heart. Remove the stubbornness and defensiveness from inside me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and teach me to follow You with a tender heart. Amen.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Why do you live, work, love?

You might have a very clear “why.” You might have a multi-faceted answer. For many of us, our “why” is many things—many desires and longings.

Can I tell you something that’s true? The God of the universe—the One true, supreme, creator God—sent His Son to the earth. He lived a perfect life. He died a painful death on a cross. But He is more powerful than death. And He is alive! And He did this for you.

You are His “why.” Every human being on the planet is His “why.” The Son of God came. He gave. He poured out. He served— He laid down His life.

Maybe today, He should become your “why.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.
