Never Out of Options

When life has kicked you down and you’re feeling weak, tired, and hopeless, remember that you are never alone or out of options! Sometimes God uses others to encourage you, and get you back on your feet. It may be a family member, friend or even a stranger who comes along at the very time you needed it most. Don’t let pride get in the way of asking or accepting help. There’s no shame in admitting you’re in a position of need. In fact, there are probably people all around you who are more than willing to lend a hand - if they only knew you needed it. Just knowing someone is willing to go out of there way to support you is not only comforting but inspires you to be more open to helping others. Most of all, know that even on your darkest day - you are not alone, because Jesus is right there beside you! He IS the light of the world and just allowing Him into your heart removes all darkness and despair. Jesus loves you and cares about your problems and heartaches. The same God that is busy ruling the universe - cares about you and what’s keeping you up at night with anxiety. When you fall, His outstretched hand is there to pick you up - all you need to do is take the life-line He offers you! Life is not hopeless - Jesus is your option - reach out and take His hand!
