Confess and receive
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9
That’s right. It may seem too good to be true, but you can believe it. No matter what you’ve done, God longs for you to return to Him!
You only need to do one thing: confess. If you confess your sins to God with a repentant heart, He will forgive you. He will completely cleanse you.
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
- Colossians 1:13–14
Thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we can receive the forgiveness of our sins and eternal salvation. We don’t deserve it, but God, in His infinite goodness, decided to give us the opportunity to live with Him forever.
Do you remember the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32)? Do you remember how the father longed for his son’s return? In the same way, God is waiting for you to come to Him. Don’t wait any longer! Confess everything to God and receive His embrace. He is waiting for you!
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
- Revelation 3:20

Whoever loves God must obey
Obedience is one of the proofs of a child’s love for their parents. In the Bible, we see that God gave many commandments that we are to obey, not because He wants to control us, but because He wants us to have an abundant and blessed life. Those who obey receive blessings from the Lord!
Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
- Luke 6:46
Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today;
- Deuteronomy 11:26–27
There are many choices we must make every day: to tell the truth or lie about something, to help or ignore the needs of others, to speak well or badly about someone we know. Each choice gives us the opportunity to obey God and receive the blessing He desires to give us.
Choose to obey God and do so out of love for Him. Remember everything He has already done for you, how He loves you, cares for you, and helps you. Decide to obey Him, even when it is not the most popular option. Pleasing God and living according to His will will fill your heart with joy and peace. His blessings will cover you as you walk the path He desires. Always choose to obey the Lord!

What is the value of your life?
Do you know how much your life is worth? The Bible says you were created in the image and likeness of God, formed in a very special way. Sin separates you from God, but it does not destroy your worth. God loves you so much that He sent His only Son to save you from sin!
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
You are very precious to God! To the point that He sent His blessed Son to save you! Never forget: you are valuable to the Lord... Even if you have been rejected in the past, or if people humiliate and treat you with disdain today, or even if you yourself do not recognize your real worth, remember: the sovereign God created you and loves you!
More than any artwork, valued at millions, you are more precious, for it is Jesus Himself who determines your importance and dignity. Do not listen to others' voices that say otherwise! It's a lie! God gives you true worth!
So, just as the works by Leonardo da Vinci, or Michelangelo, for example, carry value due to the importance of their creators, you also carry infinite worth because of the One who made you! Your author is the King of the universe! You are worth much more than the most valuable artworks in the whole world...
Look at what God says in His Word, and find your true value in Christ!
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:29-31
God takes care of all creation, but we were specially made, in His image and likeness, with a specific purpose. He made us to relate to Him and give Him glory. Understand this, and you will discover your true value in Him.
