The enemy would love to convince you that your doubts, failures, mistakes, and what’s happened in the past have tainted your future. Don’t believe those lies. God is coming to you with love, with mercy, with forgiveness, not just to make it through, but to go further, to leave your mark. The best part of your life is still in front of you.
Look back over your life. There’s not a time when God has failed you. It may not have been easy, but He made a way. He sustained you through the loss. He had mercy on your mistakes. He opened doors you couldn’t open. Why are you doubting Him now?
You see yourself as the failed you, the broken you, the guilty you, the disadvantaged you. No, nothing you’ve done has stopped your destiny. The mercy of God is bigger than any mistake you’ve made.
God sees what’s limiting you. He sees what is causing you heartache. You can’t change it. It’s out of your control. That’s when God, in His mercy, will step in and say, “Enough is enough. Let Me do what only I can do.”

Here’s the results:
This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at the age of 3 and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997, some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead, every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought:
To be a caring person.

Guy at a party told me he got divorced during the pandemic and tried to organize his building, only to realize everyone living there was also a recently divorced guy. Thought he was exaggerating until I saw the building.
Today’s the day! We’ve doubled the GST Tax Credit for 6 months for nearly 11 million households – single Canadians without kids will get up to $234 more, couples with two kids will get up to $467 more, and seniors will get $225 more on average – and payments are going out today.
God is so merciful that even when we don’t believe, even when our faith is limited, God steps in and says, “I’m going to do it anyway. I’m going to show you favor anyway, I’m going to heal you anyway, I’m going to turn it around anyway.”
