Moving OnSample

Written by Christian, age 18 from Cumming, Georgia, USA 

Fact: If you’re human, you are going to mess up and make mistakes. Everyone will- actually! It’s just a part of life. You might say something mean to your friend that you probably shouldn’t have. You might forget to clean your room after your parent has asked you to several times. You might not follow directions on a school project and get a bad grade on it. The good news is that when you choose to follow Jesus, the story doesn’t end when you mess up or make a mistake. That’s because God sent Jesus to Earth to forgive us of anything we’ll ever do—forever! Because of Jesus, we have a chance to start over every single morning, no matter what we’ve done. Because of Jesus, we are forgiven! And that’s something to celebrate! 

Right now, write down, “Today is a new day. I can start over.” 

Today, talk to a friend or adult you trust about this very thing.
