You don’t realize how much you look in the rearview mirror until you can’t. Shawna was returning a recliner in her little Ford Escape and she absolutely couldn’t look back. But it made her realize how much we do. Our future with God is so much more compelling than our past.

It was like the experience of drowning. Perry was sinking into an ocean of depression. And then a hand grabbed hold of him and pulled him out. That’s when he learned, God will never let you drown.

So often we come to God in prayer asking for the only solution we see possible. What would happen if we prayed asking for His solutions instead of ours?

Perry’s suffering friend has come up with a thousand reasons why he’s unqualified to be in God’s family. Perry’s prayed for him for decades but it feels like Jesus is sleeping. Why doesn’t Jesus do something?

If you know God has forgiven you but you can’t seem to forgive yourself, Perry can relate. He has learned, over the years, how to accept the forgiveness Jesus so joyfully gives.
