This uplifting and encouraging message is a beautiful reminder that God permanently wipes away our sins. We'd all be better off remembering this idea that God does not possess and keep a record of our every sin, fall, stumble and error. Watch the short but powerful clip about the love and forgiveness of God.

No one is perfect – far from it. All have committed their fair share of mistakes and errors. The Bible clearly states that everyone is a sinner in need of God’s forgiveness. Most people have a past they are not proud of, which is likely sprinkled with things they would rather not share or discuss.

While some may feel a certain way about us because of our past actions or failures, that is not the case with God. Once we turn to Him, ask for His forgiveness and accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior, it’s like those sins never occurred from His point of view. He has wiped them away.

This is the powerful message and reminder that one man shares in a video posted on YouTube. While we and others may hold a past sin or a failure against us, God does not see things that way. Once we have been forgiven, those sins and that past have been cleared. 

“So maybe this world, this world keeps track of things, and other people might keep track of things,” he said. “But our God doesn’t. He says if you bring your mistakes, your guilt, your shame, you bring that to me, God says I will forgive you, and I will truly forget, and we will start anew. And when, when the opinion of the Creator of the universe is ‘Hey, I forgave you and I forget it all,’ suddenly it makes the permanent record that other people hold seem a lot less powerful.”

Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.”

A wedding ring vanishes in the ocean, and what happens next is incredible. The woman was snorkeling when she noticed that something was missing: her wedding ring. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what happened after a woman lost her wedding ring in the ocean.

Weddings are beautiful, wonderful ceremonies in which attendees witness the creation of a family. Standing at the altar in front of their friends, family and God, two people exchange vows and agree to remain together for the rest of their lives, no matter what life throws their way. It’s an occasion in which lifelong memories are created.

While those memories and the pictures captured of that special day are important, there is one piece, a memento, that means more than any picture or video: the wedding ring. The wedding ring symbolizes the lifelong promise and commitment made that day. Since that piece of jewelry means so much, losing it would be catastrophic enough to cause someone to panic. Sadly, that’s precisely what happened to one woman who went snorkeling in the Atlantic Ocean.

In the clip posted on YouTube, the woman states that she had just finished snorkeling when she noticed that her wedding ring was no longer on her hand. Somehow, as she explained the situation, she was able to remain calm. So, instead of immediately telling her husband, she went back out snorkeling, hoping to somehow and some way come across her ring.

And, as luck would have it, that’s exactly what happened.

She found her wedding ring, thankfully, in shallow water.

“I was, like, screaming under the water,” Sara Maunee said. “I mean, I got back, I was jumping for joy. I felt like I had won the lottery that day.”

Given the slim odds of finding a ring in the ocean, it’s safe to say that she probably did the equivalent of winning the lottery that day.

Proverbs 18:22 “Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.”

One woman shared powerful and encouraging words about our access to God. Everyone would do well to remember her message, especially when we’re struggling or in a place of uncertainty and confusion. Watch the short but moving clip to hear what she says about reaching out to and communicating with the Lord.

Regularly getting into and studying God’s word, attending church and being part of a strong community of believers are vital for everyone’s walk with the Lord. However, while those are great and necessary activities, there is one that tops all the rest: prayer.

Prayer is the opportunity to talk and communicate with the Creator of the world. We can share our hopes, worries, fears, concerns and requests with Him through prayer. We should also praise Him for what He has done and is doing in our lives while praying.

Prayer gives us direct and open access to Him anytime, day or night. How awesome is that? In a clip posted on YouTube, one woman mentions how God is always present, willing and able to listen to what we have to say.

“You don’t have to worry about saying the right words,” she said. “Just be real. Say, ‘God, here’s what I’m feeling’ or ‘I don’t know what to do about this.’ He just wants to hear from you.”

Later in the clip, she mentions why and how we have this special 24/7 access to God, and it has nothing to do with anything we’ve done. We could never and will never do anything worthy of having this kind of close, special relationship with the Creator of the world.

“We have all access to God,” she said.  “Not because of anything we did, but just because Jesus loves us and He wants to be with us. So, let’s use it. Let’s live like He’s right here, right now, because He is.”

Psalm 16:8 “I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.”

Candace Cameron Bure reveals the family crisis that led to her faith in Christ. The actress, author and podcast host mentioned how a tumultuous and uncertain time in her family resulted in her accepting Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how a family crisis led her to find Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, we will all experience hardships and trials. As most people know, they have a way of finding us at one time or another. That’s a simple and unavoidable fact of life. No one’s life is perfect, regardless of fame, status and net worth. People aren’t perfect, far from it, and so, because of that, our relationships will not be either.

Sadly, this often means that even marriages can go through rough spots, where even divorce looks like a real possibility. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares how a tough period in her parents’ marriage ended with her finding and turning her life over to Jesus Christ.

“My parents were on the brink of divorce when I was 12,” she said. “A friend invited them to go to counseling at their church. My dad was not a believer. My mom was a believer, but my dad agreed to go to counseling and to start going to church.”

She mentions her parents truly wanted to fix their marriage but were unsure of how to go about doing that.

Later in the clip, Cameron says she made a life-changing decision several months after attending church.

“This started our journey going to church,” she said. “So, at 12, you know, probably after a couple of months of going, six months of going, I gave my life to Christ.”

What a powerful testimony and example of how Jesus Christ can make something beautiful from a seemingly broken and hopeless situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Holy Spirit speaks through scripture. The wonders of Yah and His truth. Uplifting for all.

How has insecurity impacted your dreams and your calling? Do you ever feel like a fraud, you don't deserve your position or role, or compelled to prove your competency? These are signs of "imposter syndrome", a common struggle with the power to sabotage our lives and relationships.

One musician, Emily Ann Roberts, shared a powerful message about trusting and having faith in God and remembering and counting how He has blessed our lives. Her moving words are a terrific reminder to lean not on our power and understanding but instead to place our faith and trust in Him. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear her words and message that likely hit close to home for many.

The world is way too often a sad, cold and cruel place. Nearly everywhere we look, we are reminded of this fact. Turn on any evening news broadcast or log onto social media, and you’ll see a hundred different ways how this is true. Dwelling and continually thinking and worrying about the lost and hopeless state of the world is enough to drive the sanest, most stable person crazy.

Worrying about things out of our control is not the answer. In Luke, Jesus says exactly this when he mentions that worry will not add a single hour to your life. Instead, cast your cares and concerns about Him, which was precisely what Emily said in a clip posted on YouTube.

“I could wake up this morning and focus on all the things I wish I was doing instead of the things I get to do and the blessings that God has given me,” she said while picking green beans. “And if I focused on all that for too long, then I’d probably be in a bad mood, I’d be ungrateful and I’d miss the blessings right in front of me, like these green beans right here.”

Later in the clip, Emily mentioned how she used to be ridden with anxiety, which kept her from enjoying and appreciating much. She said a passage of Scripture she came across changed everything.

“And there was a passage of Scripture that I came across that really changed my life forever, and the peace of God and His word changed my life forever,” she said. “The verse is so simple. It says, ‘Don’t worry about anything, but instead pray about everything.’ Tell God what you need, thank Him for all He has done, and then you’ll experience God’s peace.”

Philippians 4:6 “In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

Granger Smith shares some powerful truths about Christ’s place in our lives. The former country singer shared a moving message that everyone needs to hear and apply to their lives. Watch the short but moving clip to hear Granger’s words about Jesus Christ and about the position He should be in our lives.

Life is not always a fun, joyous and easy-going experience. Yes, there will be instances, circumstances and reasons worth celebrating, but there will also be times when there is hurt and heartbreak. Absolutely no one likes going through trials and struggles. Pain is unpleasant, and we want it to end as quickly as possible.

People will also encounter situations that make them uncomfortable. Some might even argue that feeling ill at ease and dealing with uneasiness is worse than experiencing pain. One reason someone may feel this way is because of conviction and the work of the Holy Spirit. In a clip posted on YouTube, Granger shared a powerful message that is likely to convict many who hear his words.

In the video, Granger recalled an interaction with an individual during which the man joked about “everyone needing a little Jesus.”  The man’s awkward and strange comment about Jesus Christ immediately put off Granger and didn't sit right with him.

“I nodded politely, but inside, something twisted,” he said. “A little Jesus? It says so much about what we have reduced him to in this society.”

According to Granger, far too many people have reduced the Savior of the world to a good luck charm, almost like a rabbit’s foot or something else individuals hold onto for superstitious reasons.

“He is not a trinket,” Granger said. “He is the judge of the living and the dead. And He comes into our lives, not just to round it out. He comes to take it over. The real Jesus is no figurine. He is not a part of your life. He is your life, or He is nothing at all.”

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the true and the living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.’”

Tim Tebow shared why every believer needs a strong spiritual community. The former Heisman Trophy winner pointed out why belonging to and being plugged into a faith community is vitally important. Watch the short but powerful clip where Tim shares why this is a must for every follower of Jesus Christ.

The world is not always a friendly, welcoming, and uplifting place. Life frequently puts you through situations that leave you battered and bruised, hurting and downright discouraged. These trials and hardships can be agonizing and gut-wrenching, but some people will try to do it independently, completely, without anyone by their side.

When we endure trials and testing alone, the enemy attacks. Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness and depression start to creep into our minds. We’re suddenly reminded of past stumbles and failures. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim shares why Christians need to belong to a strong community of other believers.

“The enemy says you’re alone, but God says I will never leave you and forsake you,” Tim said. “And so, that’s why it’s so important to have a renewing of your mind in God’s word, in Scripture, in prayer, and with other people around you because when we get isolated, when we get alone, all of those voices from the enemy start to leak in and they start to creep and they start to say and they start to point out all of those flaws.”

However, people were not meant to do life alone. We were made for relationships—to encourage and uplift one another.

Later in the clip, Tim adds that while we may have scars from what we’ve suffered in the past, God says that does not define us.

“You have to get back to Scripture because God’s saying, ‘No, no, no, no. You’re missing the mark because you’re missing the point. Yes, you have scars, and you have flaws, but you’re not defined by your scars. You’re defined by mine.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work. And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.”

A community has come together to support an 80-year-old man still working to pay medical bills. The elderly gentleman continues to go to work because of a promise he made to his late wife. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the community did and why the man continues to work even though he’s past the age when most people retire.

Retirement is a lifelong goal for most people. That time when someone can kick back and relax and not have to worry about going to a 9-to-5 is a period many people dream about. When someone reaches the point where they no longer have to work, it is no wonder that they are often said to be in their “golden years.”

Sadly, though, not everyone can afford to retire. For one reason or another, a lot of people have to continue working even at an advanced age. However, someone in their 80s or 90s shouldn’t have to work. We were created for more than simply working until we drop dead. That’s exactly what one woman thought when she saw Gary Saling bagging groceries, and she decided to do something.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Gary explains that his wife Carol developed and later died from a form of dementia. However, he explains that he made a promise to her when she was sick: he would not put her in a nursing home but would instead keep her at their home. He turned to bagging groceries to help pay off the thousands in medical bills owed.

Duana Johnson saw the kind and gentle elderly man working at the supermarket and decided to do something.

“I saw Gary bagging groceries, and I thought, ‘What’s this guy? Why’s this elderly man still here?’” she asked.

The woman who is the head of a ministry in her Utah town started a donation account at a bank on behalf of Gary.

“So, we started a fundraiser, and people have been messaging saying that they, they see him all the time,” she said. “And they really love him. He’s always nice. He’s always kind. He’s always, like, you know, greeting them and smiling.”

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking every to his private good, but keep in mind the things of others.”

"Let me fall in love with you."

* Start life with a disability and relentless bullying and no longer wish to live. * Hit the party scene like a whirlwind, wild party lifestyle. * Identity Theft left homeless and hungry. Life had spiraled out of control; anger and hate were all that was left. There was nothing left to live for. * A miracle that was life-altering, and there is no going back. * No longer the same, from abused and broken to a new life and restored—purpose from the pain.
