Today, God is offering you this chance. The Bible promises, “...anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone and new life has begun!”

He’s offering you forgiveness right now.

What does it look like to begin again with Him? It means turning from the old path that you’ve been on—the behaviors and ways of living that you know deep down are hurting your own heart, and those around you—and trusting Jesus day by day—talking to Him, listening to His voice, letting His Spirit guide you and take over your life.

If your heart is saying “yes,” then pray with me: “Jesus, I need Your mercy. Thank You for dying for my sins. Make me new today, and help me to follow You.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17

I'm not sure if you’re like me, but this commandment feels impossible! To love an unseen God in this way.

Jesus knows this, and I am so grateful that He knows this about me. He knows this is an impossible commandment, which is why He came. He loved us with all of Himself.

What kind of love would have the God of the universe lay down His life for people—people who didn’t even love Him?

He loved us first. He loved you first. Because of this… because of this beautiful act of love, we can love Him, and we can truly love others.

You may have even heard someone say, “Believe in Jesus so you won’t go to hell.” That’s part of the story, but the Good News of Jesus is so much bigger! And it’s not just about the afterlife. It’s also about the now-life!

This is how Jesus described eternal life when he was praying to God, His Father…He said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

Eternal life is not just about where you go when you die—it’s also about knowing God now.

Following Jesus is about a relationship of love, forgiveness, and it’s about hope. And it can begin today, and it will last… forever!

You can begin right now by praying, “Jesus, I want to know You. Please forgive me. Help me to start now, this eternal friendship with You.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

You can read about him in Matthew 19. He came to Jesus, and he asked Him, “What good thing must I do to get eternal life?” Jesus told Him to sell all he had and follow Him. The man walked away sad because he was a very rich man.

You see, this man obeyed the rules. He wanted to know what he could do to have life. But Jesus understood that his wealth was the most precious thing to him. So he went away empty.

What’s your first love? Often, it can be a good thing. But, Jesus says “I want to be your first love. Release what you think is giving you life…it won't last, it won’t satisfy you. I offer you true, authentic, eternal life.”

Always remember there is hope with God.

Maybe you’ve heard the story of Jesus, being born as a baby, dying and then being raised to life. I wonder if you’ve ever thought that faith means shutting off your brain.

Jesus never rejected honest questioning, even doubt. He met it with compassion.

After Jesus rose from the dead, one of His own disciples—Thomas—struggled to believe that it really happened. In the book of John, in the Bible, we see that Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, look at my hands. Believe!”

Questions don’t scare Him. In fact, they can lead you to deep faith as you seek His truth.

You can simply pray and say, “Jesus, You know that I don’t understand so many of these things. But I want to know You. Show me the truth about who You are. Fill me with faith. And thank You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

And the greatest story ever told had its turning point on the very first Christmas.

The Bible, God’s book of truth, says in Luke 2:11, “The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”

Think about that. God, the Author of life—the big story of EVERYTHING—wrote Himself into His own story. And He didn’t stay distant. He didn’t give up on us. He walked among us, healed the broken, forgave sins, and gave His own life so that we could have a chance to live forever.

This Christmas, you can enter into God’s story—you can run into His outstretched arms and receive the gift of life that He’s offering you. It starts with a simple conversation in prayer. You can say, “Jesus, I believe You came for me. I choose to follow You.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Exhausted? Maybe people rely on you, and you feel like you're ready to give up or run away.

Jesus' friends were in a similar situation. They faced a large crowd of very needy people; they had come to see Jesus to get help and healing from Him. And now, added to their needs was physical hunger.

Jesus' response was unexpected. He said, “You give them something to eat.”

They had only a small amount of food, they gave it to Jesus. Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread. He gave it back to them. And they were then able to feed thousands of hungry people.

What do you have? Your time, your energy, your resources. Give it to Him! He will do the miracle in your life, and He will do the miracle through you.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

What if it became the life-changing event it was always meant to be?

That’s what happened for a few shepherds long ago on the hills of Bethlehem. The Bible tells us that, “The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard. It was just as the angels had told them.” Their encounter with Jesus—just a little baby, but also the Living God— it changed them forever.

Christmas isn’t just about traditions or festivals. It’s about Jesus—God Himself, entering into the world that He made.

This Christmas, you can experience the life-changing joy of knowing Jesus personally. Right where you are, you can pray, “Jesus, I don’t want to miss You this Christmas. Come into my life. Forgive me once and for all. Be with me, and change me.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.
