Have you ever felt like life was hard and that nothing could make it better? I think we all have at some time or another. Sometimes, we may feel super lonely, and it looks like everyone else has friends. Sometimes, we may feel really sad, and it seems like everyone else is happy. Sometimes, we feel like we are drowning in stress, and it looks like everyone else is doing excellently in life. When you feel like that, where do you turn? Do you turn to your phone? Do you turn to a relationship? Do you try to make life better by finding your identity in your sports, grades, or looks? While those things may make us feel better for a little bit, we will constantly be looking for something or someone who can make our lives better and make us feel valued. 

Not only does following God make our life better by giving us joy in our hearts and peace of mind, but also, we can know that God will always love us. God loves you so much that He sings when thinking about you. Here’s more great news. God is always with you. Whether you feel it or not, God will never leave you. If you follow Jesus, God saves you from the weight of shame from your mistakes and helps you move forward. This makes life better. 

This week, spend some time writing down ways that following God makes your life better as a way to stay positive this week.
