Comeback Stories
Who does not like a good comeback story? These stories are pretty much what make the news of this world exciting, and these stories help make people optimistic about the future. Hearing about a comeback usually gives a person a sense of joy, excitement, and hope for the future. It is always intriguing to hear about the small, 5'7" baseball player from Arizona State make it to the big leagues as an all-star, MVP, Gold Glove winner, and Rookie of the Year for the Boston Red Sox. It is powerful to hear and see the men and women of the armed forces return home after years of fighting for their country. It is amazing when millions of people around the world are fighting life-threatening diseases, and they are persevering. The world is filled with miracles and second chances because we have a God who is so merciful. He has the power to do good in your life when you place your trust and eternal hope in Jesus Christ. Before you knew God, you were sinner, but after coming to the realization that you needed Jesus in your life, God turned your life upside down and gave you your own personal comeback story for the ages. This story is so powerful that even the angels are rejoicing and getting excited about. Even after being in a relationship with Jesus my entire life, I still screw up, make mistakes, and need the tremendous grace and mercy that God has to offer to me and everyone in this world. If you need God's mercy today, just ask Him. God will forgive you, and he will give you a comeback story that you can share with the people around you. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the greatest and most powerful comeback story a person can ever have because your story will aid you on your difficult, yet rewarding walk with God. This story is your way of witnessing to the world. It is your way of letting people know that there is optimism, peace, and hope in this world for those who comeback and place their trust in Jesus. I know I have had several opportunities that God has given to me in order to share my comeback story and witness to friends and strangers. Despite not taking full advantage of those opportunities like I should, God still gives me hope. He still gives me comfort and strength, so I can be fully equipped and ready to take advantage of the opportunities to witness today and in the future. In the end, God has a comeback story for each one of us. Follow Him, and He will use you and your story for the good of His Kingdom.
