Our Strength

I used to have a little baby bird that I raised all on my own. Her parents neglected her since she was disabled and not as strong as the rest of her siblings. I fed her many times a day, including getting up twice a night (even on school nights) so that she would get enough food to become strong. She needed a lot of care, but I was willing to put in the effort to try and save her life. Even when I thought that my bird might not be able to survive, I never gave up on her. So, day by day, little by little, my bird became stronger. With the right amount of care, she was able to become a perfectly healthy bird.

In the same way, Jesus doesn’t ever give up on us either. When nobody else believes in us, Jesus stays right by our side. He is always there for us, whether we’re doing great or we’re at our absolute worst. He will continue to help us, and we don’t need to do anything to earn that help. Jesus is the God of healing and miracles. He cares about all our hurts, and He came so that we could be made whole. He will be with us, and He will continue to love us and care for us, no matter what. • Hanna Leopold

• Have you ever felt like that baby bird? How might it give you hope to know that Jesus never gives up on you?

• If we’ve put our trust in Jesus, we can look forward to the day He will return and put an end to sickness and pain forever. There is so much brokenness in our world, but Jesus has come to restore. Even now, God is bringing healing and wholeness all over creation. And He invites us to be part of this good work, extending kindness and compassion wherever we go. How could you show God’s love today?

He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles… Isaiah 40:29-31 (CSB)
