A young musician with a physical disability inspires others with determination and perseverance. This young man has refused to give up or make excuses but has persisted when presented with challenges. Check out this video to learn more about this impressive and inspiring young man.

Not every situation in life is a reason to jump for joy or a cause for celebration. In fact, many times, it will be quite the opposite. There will be immensely painful experiences and circumstances that result in intense grief and heartache.

Additionally, if you’re not already aware, life is not fair. For whatever reason, some people seem to have been dealt a much more difficult hand. They come against more than what feels like their fair share of troubles and hardships. Some people will endlessly complain about their present circumstances, believing the world is against them. But then other people persevere; no matter what life throws at them, they rise to and meet that challenge. Isaac Ramos belongs firmly in the latter category.

As the video posted on YouTube points out, Isaac was born with a deformed left arm. However, he has not let that stop him from playing not one but four instruments. He uses a custom-fitted prosthetic, which allows him to play the drums, the guitar and the violin. The middle school student also plays the piano, but as he demonstrates in the clip, he does not wear it when tickling the ivories.

“There’s challenges that may stop me sometimes, but I’ve always learned to overcome them even if it takes a little more,” Isaac said. “At the end, it’s all worth it.”

But music isn’t the only place where Isaac succeeds and impresses. His teachers and school principal praised his character and performance in the classroom.

What a truly impressive and inspiring young man!

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”

How has God helped you step out in faith? Has He given you courage? Although most of us want to live bold, extraordinary lives of purpose and eternal impact, fear can hold us back from fully yielding to God. Often our minds jump to that big, possible assignment, not recognizing that the Lord builds our faith muscles and our trust in Him through the little yeses we offer today. But most importantly, our obedience, however timid, also deepens our intimacy with Him, the God who reigns over all and remains with us through every challenge we encounter and overwhelming assignment we embrace. Passage discussed: Esther 4, particularly her courage to risk her life to save her people, and how this reminded us of Jesus’s ultimate hard yes to die on the cross so that we might live.

A woman experienced an emotional, tear-filled reunion with the young child she helped to save by donating part of her liver. This is such a sweet, heartwarming story and moment. Be sure to check out this clip!

Life can be an adventure, and that’s putting it relatively lightly. It is a series of unexpected events, most of which we have little to no control over. Life-changing situations and circumstances can crop up out of nowhere and through no fault of our own.

Sadly, many of these unfortunate, life-changing and unforeseen situations involve medical and health challenges. No one is exempt from them, not even the smallest and most vulnerable members of society: children. 

A clip posted on YouTube details a situation in which a child and his family were impacted by a terrible medical situation. Luckily, one woman stepped up in a big way to help save his life, and their reunion will bring a tear or two or three to your eyes.

According to the video, Sunny, the child, was born with biliary atresia, which is a condition that impacts the liver. Eventually, as the text in the video makes clear, doctors determined that the young man needed a liver transplant. It was then that one woman, Sandy Flash, literally gave up a part of herself.

Sandy agreed to donate a part of her liver to young Sunny. The transplant surgery was a success, and the little guy was finally able to leave the hospital after months.

The clip shows Sandy and Sunny’s family in several warm, tear-filled embraces. What an emotional and heartwarming moment. That will be one reunion that Sandy and Sunny’s family will never forget.

“I just feel called to do this, and I asked other people to do this,” Sandy said with tears in her eyes. “And I want to help someone else.”

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

Salvation is a pivotal theme in Christianity, symbolizing deliverance from sin and reconciliation with God. It involves belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior, whose life, death, and resurrection offer a pathway to eternal life and restoration. The concept of salvation begins with recognizing sin as a breach in humanity's relationship with God. Sin separates individuals from divine love and purpose. The Bible states, “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), indicating that everyone needs redemption. At the core of salvation is Jesus Christ. Christians believe His sacrificial death on the cross paid the penalty for humanity's sins, exemplifying God's grace and inviting a faith response. The New Testament clarifies that salvation is a gift from God, not achieved through human effort. Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces this: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Faith is essential in the salvation process. It is through faith that individuals accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This faith includes repentance—a genuine turning away from sin and a commitment to follow Christ. Believers often describe this transformative experience as being "born again" (John 3:3), marking the start of a lifelong journey of discipleship and spiritual growth.

Discipleship is a spiritual journey of learning to follow and love Jesus, and to become more like him. It's a lifelong process that involves growing in relationship with other disciples, and includes: Studying the Bible, Praying together, Witnessing to each other, Fellowshipping, and Mentoring. The term "disciple" comes from the ancient Near East, and in the Bible, it refers to a learner who follows a master teacher. In the New Testament, Jesus expected his followers to become more like him, and told them to "deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow me". Disciple-making is a subset of discipleship and involves helping others to follow Jesus as you do. Discipleship is a joy that involves loving and being loved and knowing and being known. It's also about enjoying the beauty of Christ with others, and through them Discipleship is characterized by hard work and study, as it involves a committed effort to learn and grow in one's faith while following Jesus. This journey includes several key elements: 1. Studying the Bible: Engaging deeply with Scripture is crucial for understanding the teachings of Jesus and how to embody them in daily life. This study requires time and effort to comprehend and apply biblical principles. 2. Praying Together: Prayer is an essential component of discipleship, fostering a deeper connection with God and with fellow disciples. It often involves discipline and dedication to maintain regular communication with God. 3. Witnessing to Each Other: Sharing experiences, challenges, and insights with one another can be hard work but is vital for growth and encouragement in the faith journey. 4. Fellowshiping: Building meaningful relationships with others in the faith community requires effort and commitment. This fellowship supports discipleship by providing a space for mutual growth and accountability. 5. Mentoring: Guiding others in their spiritual journey can be challenging, as it requires patience and a commitment to help others navigate their faith experiences. Overall, discipleship is a lifelong process that demands diligence, but it is also filled with joy and growth as individuals strive to become more like Christ and support one another in their spiritual journeys.

One young man’s words and beautiful outlook on life is a lesson for us all. His words, demeanor and perspective are upbeat and positive, even when encountering issues and problems. We would all be better off considering and imitating this young man’s attitude and outlook. Be sure to check out the video.

Life is not constantly one big fun adventure, and things will not always work out in our favor. Unfortunately, we’ll experience issues and problems, often resulting from nothing we’ve done. Some of these circumstances will be painful and even cause heartache.

When we encounter troubling issues or problems, the natural human response is to complain, stress and have a “woe is me” mentality. Everyone does that, but one young man’s unexpected response and outlook to such a situation is refreshing, inspiring and uplifting. Instead of dwelling on the problem, he found reasons to remain thankful and upbeat.

In the short video posted on social media, the young man on his way to school addresses everyone watching the video and says, “Be grateful that you woke up this morning!” After showing the sun coming up over the horizon, he adds, “It’s a beautiful day to be alive.”

He explains that he overslept this morning and was initially irritated with himself. But then he saw his Bible and realized and remembered that he is incredibly blessed.

“Sometimes we let the littlest things get in the way of the big thing: the blessing,” he said. “It’s a blessing to wake up in the morning. It’s a blessing to breathe. It’s a blessing to have clean water. It’s a blessing to go to school. All of this stuff is a blessing.”

The Lord is kind, loving and continually blesses and touches our lives – even when we encounter problems or go through dark valleys. We should all strive to remember how blessed we are in life, especially during troubling circumstances. 

1 Thessalonians 5:18“In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Love that lasts a lifetime is a rare gift. Especially in a world where quick fixes often replace long-term commitment, one couple is celebrating being married for 83 years, and it’s a display of unwavering commitment and love that is so rare. We often hear about the honeymoon phase of relationships where everything feels new and exciting, and love seems effortless, but what happens when that feeling fades when the days stretch into decades? True, lasting love is built on more than feelings. It’s rooted in commitment, respect, and faith–just like the beautiful story of Thell and Margie Ellison. 

They stood atop a hill overlooking a creek on June 24, 1941, when they said, “I do.” Little did they know they would be the example of love that impacts future generations. In their early days of marriage, it would’ve been so easy to give up as they lived in a modest log cabin with no running water or power. Margie cooked their meals over a wood stove.  

But their simple life led to a deep, great love they had for each other. The secret to their marriage was treating each other right and loving each other even through the hardest days. 

"We just tried to live right and treat each other right, and love each other," Margie said. "We are so thankful for our children. They were a great blessing, but the main thing is to show respect and love."

This passionate, enduring love led to one of their greatest blessings; besides 83 years of marriage, it was having a family that reaches over three generations. As their church celebrated their anniversary, they captured it on video with the caption: “Together, 107-year-old Thell and 99-year-old Margie raised five children, 15 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 31 great-great-great-grandchildren.”

True love doesn’t come from perfect, and it comes from a heart willing to serve, sacrifice, and choose one another every day. May their love inspire us to love our spouses and families with the same devotion, faith, and hope. 

Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

More than 100 female inmates accepted Christ and then decided to get baptized. Several women behind bars made a life-changing move, choosing to follow Jesus Christ. This powerful and emotional clip will likely move you to tears.

We are all sinners, having openly defied God in our ignorance, arrogance and disobedience. The Bible confirms the fallen nature of every human being. In Romans, it states that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.

Despite our sin – willful disobedience and rejection of God’s commands – He bridged that gap, the rupture that our sin caused by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ suffered and was put to death on the cross for you and me. He was the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect lamb sent to the slaughter for our sins.

Because of Christ's death and resurrection, we now have hope and a future. Christ’s amazing love and forgiveness are freely offered and available to all—even those in prison. A clip on Instagram features a beautiful service in which more than 100 women accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Then, after accepting Christ, many of the women at the Las Vegas prison were baptized. It’s a touching ceremony, with every woman wearing a massive smile as they are made a new creation in Christ.

The video's caption states that as each woman rose out of the water, the room “erupted in praise.” The text in the video points out that the video captures the most baptisms performed in one service by God Behind Bars, the prison ministry responsible for the video.

The video’s caption makes it clear that God is performing miracles and changing the lives of inmates.

“Revival is happening in prison and we are witnessing it happen before our eyes! Thank you Jesus!!!” the caption reads.

Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is one me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”

We went to a local college campus and asked random students their thoughts on Easter, the resurrection, and Jesus.

A college football player stepped up in a big way to care for his siblings after their mother passed away. This story and example of love and kindness will bring a tear, or two or three, to your eyes. Be sure to check out this heartwarming story.

Life is not a fair experience. Anyone who does believe life is fair is either incredibly wrong or downright crazy, but probably a little bit of both. Sure, there are many joyful occasions and reasons for celebration. However, there are also instances that result in immense pain, sorrow and heartache.

Through no fault of our own, we’ll find ourselves dealing with and in the middle of hardships. Situations or circumstances will spring up that cause life to become immensely more difficult. Armorion Smith and his siblings know this reality all too well. Their mother passed away due to cancer, leaving them without someone to care for and watch out for them.

Armorion, a Michigan State football team member, stepped up and answered the call, filling that role. As a 21-year-old student-athlete, he agreed to become the legal guardian for his siblings. So, now he’s not only juggling the duties and requirements of being a student-athlete but also as a caretaker for his siblings.

The clip posted on YouTube mentions that Armorion’s stepping up to become his siblings’ legal guardian fulfilled a promise made to his mother before she passed.

“If I don’t step up, who could they turn to?” Armorion said. “I’m just happy we’re all together; that’s just the biggest thing. I’m going to be their protector.”

The video states that Armorion is always there for his siblings to offer them words of wisdom and encouragement—to help them in the classroom or elsewhere.

“No matter what I do, he’s always trying to make sure I’m going in the right direction,” Armond, Armorion’s younger brother, said.

Romans 12:10 “Be kind to one another with a brother’s love, putting others before yourselves in honor;”
