You are meant to be alive today
There’s a reason you woke up this morning, somehow and some way you have a purpose to be in this world today. You might be feeling like you’re going through a hard time, that you wish you weren’t alive right now with the circumstances that are going on or the way your life is playing out currently. Please don’t give up on your dreams, your family, your job, there is a future that needs you and Jesus has a plan for you.
Being a Christian, every day I ask Jesus if he would be more clear to me how I can change the world or how to know what the right answer is to a hard decision. Even if it means there are unexpected bumps and ditches along the way, I know at the end of the road I’m going to have become a person who has learned and is happy. I’m always trying to be as close to Jesus as I can, but sometimes we can all get lost on his pathway and get ourselves into some hard situations.
With forgiveness and love you can make it back to him and be able to hear his voice once again. So if you feel lost or like you’re stuck at a doorway in life that’s locked, just know Jesus closes doors so that others can open. Find a door that is unlocked in your life, it is going to take courage and bravery, I believe in you.
