GRACE FOR A FRESH START


I Peter 5:10 (NKJV) “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”


In this verse we see the powerful nature of God’s grace. Peter calls Him “the God of all grace” because His grace reaches every area of life. It is not limited by your past, mistakes, or pain. God allows seasons of suffering to shape and prepare us for something greater. After you have endured for a while, His grace begins to work in you to perfect what is missing, to establish your faith, to strengthen your heart, and to settle your life on a solid foundation. Grace is not only for salvation but also for restoration. It is the divine power that lifts a broken person and gives them a new beginning.


No matter what you have gone through whether it was caused by your own mistakes or the natural challenges of life, there is always grace for a fresh start. God’s love is bigger than your failure. His mercy is stronger than your shame. You may have fallen, but by His grace, you can rise again.


Do not give up on yourself. You can start again and become a different, better person than what others think of you, or even how you see yourself. Grace gives you a second chance to rebuild your life with purpose and dignity.


If there is someone in your life who is lost in sin or trapped in the pleasures of this world, do not give up on them either. God’s grace can reach them wherever they are and give them the power to begin again.


Maybe it is your marriage, your relationship, or your dreams that have been broken. Even there, God has already provided the grace to begin again. After you have suffered a while, may God perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.


Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your grace that restores, strengthens, and gives me power to begin again. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
