Hope for those who have made a mess of their lives

“Some were fools. They rebelled and suffered for their sins.

They could not stand the thought of food, and they were knocking on the door of death.

Lord help! They cried in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent out His word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.  

Let them praise the Lord for His great love and for the wonderful things He has done for them. Let them offer sacrifices of Thanksgiving, and sing joyfully about His glorious acts.” Psalms 107: 17-22.

Fools and rebels surely bring trouble upon themselves. This Psalms offers hope for those who have made a mess of their lives. By receiving God’s free gift of forgiveness, anyone can begin a new life and break with the past. 

 By faith in Christ, we break addictions, heal memories, and restore broken relationships.

If we ask Christ to take control of our lives, He will answer those who have rebelled against Him.
