Your own actions? Man, I have been there myself, and I know that we may be searching for pleasure and fun; it becomes harder and harder to find it and harder to live with ourselves. I’ve felt that.

The wrongs in your life, what the Bible calls sin, will eventually destroy you. I don’t say that to judge you. I just understand. Life gets complicated. Maybe others had a hand in the destruction of your dreams and your life. But for your part, you can own up to it.

Bring it to the Lord; bring it before God— all of the wrongs that you’ve done. The sin of your life, even your failures, the things that you just regret…bring it to the One who can transform it— it’s Jesus.

Always remember, there is hope with God. I’m Andrew Palau.

Enlightenment means to see, to shine on, to brighten, or illuminate.

Ephesians 1 tells us that the eyes of our hearts can be enlightened to know the hope that God has called us to!

We can be enlightened to know God, to understand that He calls us to a life of hope!

I think of my son when he was little, crying in his crib, feeling alone in the dark of his little bedroom. He would call out for us. The moment that we walked in the room and we turned on the light, he would settle into peace. And we’d say, “Here we are. Here we are.”

This is the hope that we’re called to. Do you hear God saying to you, “I’m here”? Let Him enlighten your heart today.

Always remember there is hope with God.

"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance." Ephesians 1:18

If you tend to a tree, it bears fruit, right?

But in contrast… When something is abandoned and neglected, it decays, and it becomes a deplorable sight to look at…especially to the one who is responsible— the one who was supposed to tend it.

The Lord will care for you if you let Him. So, let Him! Ask God to come and draw you close to Himself. Ask Him to tend you and help you flourish like a well-tended tree so that you will bear fruit. He’s ready to do it, and He longs to do it— to take care of you. But He’s not invasive. The choice is yours to make.

Will you choose today once and for all the abundant life that God has for you?

Always remember, there is hope with God. I’m Andrew Palau.

"As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit, so workers who protect their employer’s interests will be rewarded." Proverbs 27:18
