Think for a moment about the way you feel when you greet your closest friend or a family member. Maybe you smile and feel warmth and joy as you walk over to them. Maybe you embrace them and feel the stress and worry of life fall off your shoulders.

Did you know that God wants to have that kind of joyful meeting…with you? He already knows you, but He has been waiting for you to come and to know Him.

And He loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to become a sacrifice on your behalf. Jesus made a way for you to know God intimately and deeply. You were made to live in friendship with God.

You can choose to accept this invitation to have a relationship with Jesus. And you can do it now. Come to know God. He already knows you.

Always remember, there is hope with God. I’m Andrew Palau.

"So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him." Luke 15:20

It’s rare—and it’s refreshing. Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

What drives us when no one’s watching? A pure heart wants what’s good, not just what looks good.

But how do we get to that state? The truth is, we can’t get there on our own. We need Jesus to come into our hearts and change us, washing us and making us brand new.

Do you want that? You can ask Him for it right now. And you can just pray with me. Say,

Jesus, I want to be free from selfish motives. I believe that You are God, and I want to love like You love—with purity and generosity. Help me to know You so I can learn Your ways and walk in them.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

A couple on holiday wandered into the square where our festival was taking place. And they were drawn in as my husband Andrew shared the truth about Jesus. He invited anyone interested to pray along with him.

They prayed, they gave their lives to Jesus Christ right there in the square. As my friend Melissa prayed with them, they told her that they knew God had been calling them for many days. They had been searching and looking for hope in their lives.

Things like this don’t happen by accident; God orchestrates our circumstances. He calls us. He speaks to us.

When Jesus called His first followers, He simply said: “Come, follow me.”

Will you say, “yes” to His call?

Always remember, there is hope with God.
