Walking with Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easier life, it doesn’t guarantee that things would always go our way. Sometimes God may send us into a storm, sometimes He may lead us into a valley. But it’s in those moment where we learn to trust Him and we learn to surrender, which isn’t easy. It’s in those moments where we can see how weak we are without Jesus and how much we need Him. God doesn’t abandon us in the storm or valley and He’s not working against us. He’s with us in every moment and He’s for us. In those moments, sometimes it’s hard to see what He’s doing, but we have to walk by faith and we have to hold on to His promises. The storms and the valleys that He takes us through at times are not meant to destroy us, but it’s to draw us closer to Him and to build us up into the man and the woman He’s calling us to be. Don’t let go, keep holding on!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9

The greatest gift: Jesus
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
John 3:16-17
“There’s people out there — children — who are experiencing the same thing that I experienced,” Henderson says. “People need answers. I just remember me being a kid. I didn’t know the answers. I didn’t have any hope. And there’s not only children, but adults as well. These people, they’re searching for answers and they’re looking for hope. But they’re looking in the wrong places.”
The answer is Jesus
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
DYK: José Ramírez is one of just 25 players in MLB history to record 250+ home runs and 250+ stolen bases in their career. Among the players on that list, Ramírez is the only primary third baseman, one of two switch-hitters (with Carlos Beltrán), and one of two active players (with Jose Altuve).
The Dominican-born Ramírez is a 7-time All-Star and has finished top-5 in AL MVP voting five times. Today is his 33rd birthday. Happy birthday, José! #HHM
I hope we all really think about what our savior did for us on Good Friday.
Read about it. Meditate in it. Thank Him for it.
His sacrifice is literally where the word 'excruciating' comes from.
It was too much for any other person in the history of the world to bear.
But it is good.
Because Sunday is coming!
God is real. Jesus rose. Death was defeated.
Without that context? Life becomes a nightmare of false idols: status, sex, designer boots and fame.
When they fall—and they will—what will you be left with?
Choose wisely what you worship. Eternity depends on it.
Breaks my heart seeing this. This is why I share my story no matter what it may cost me, so Jesus can reach those who are struggling with depression, shame, guilt, etc. There is hope for the sinner and for the broken hearted in the name of Jesus. Repent and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. He loves you and has purpose for for your life .
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
“Jesus loves you”
“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6
“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.”
Romans 3:22
