Does God really exist? I mean for real, not some imaginary genie in the sky! #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion #stpaulumc

Music legend Jon Bon Jovi's kindness and heartfelt words helped to talk a woman down off a bridge.

The world can be a cruel and lonely place. Everyday living, with all the stresses, worries, burdens and concerns, can be challenging and nearly impossible to maneuver. Many situations and circumstances can push us to our breaking point. It can get so bad that giving up and throwing in the towel seems preferable to continuing.

However, God remains with us when we endure life's many dark valleys and storms. His Word makes this abundantly clear: He will never leave nor forsake us. Even when it may not appear so, He is still in control and on the throne.

Also, when we feel unworthy of love or less than, we need to remember that we matter and are loved by the Creator of the universe. God has a plan and a purpose for every life. Everyone matters in His eyes.

A video posted on YouTube shows a woman standing on a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee. She was about to hurl herself off the bridge, ending her life. But as the clip shows, Bon Jovi, who happened to be shooting a music video on the bridge, walked over to her, offered her comfort and eventually helped talk her off the bridge.

As the clip mentions, the woman climbed off the bridge to safety about a minute later. The clip captures Jon giving the woman a warm and loving embrace.

Following the life-saving deed, the Nashville Police Department praised the rocker with a post on social media.

"It takes all of us to keep each other safe," the message read.

We never know what battle or fight someone may be silently going through. But we also never know how a kind, loving act or Word may dramatically impact and influence someone's entire life.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

A kind, heroic man stepped up and helped a mother save her child after her Tesla locked by itself, trapping the baby inside the vehicle.

Parents would do anything and everything in their power for their children. Ask any parent if that is the case, and you're sure to get near unanimous agreement. Children are precious, and no parent wants to see their child hurt or harmed, especially if they can do something about it.

So, whenever something does happen, and there is little or nothing a parent can do to protect their child, it can be panic-inducing. Being unable to prevent harm to your child and remaining helpless in such a situation has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. It would be every parent's worst nightmare.

A clip posted on YouTube shows that this disastrous, nightmarish scenario became real for one mother in California. The woman was charging her Tesla when the expensive electric vehicle out of nowhere locked on its own, trapping her 13-month-old son in the hot car.

Video shows the woman, Kassandra Pineda, frantically beating on the vehicle's windows. She, without a doubt, feared for the worst in those moments.

"I thought I was going to take my baby out of there lifeless," she said.

That's when one man, a stranger, came to her aide. He used a fishing weight to pound on the window, eventually busting it open. Because of the stranger's heroic actions, the child, scared and covered in sweat, was saved from the horrifying situation.

Kassandra is, of course, grateful for that kind man's heroic actions.

"I just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart," she said. "If it wasn't for him, I don't know what would have happened with my son."

That man, whoever he may be, is most certainly a hero.

Psalm 37:39 "But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; he is their strength in the time of trouble."

In the midst of life, its hard to always keep in mind the provisions that God has made for us through His love and sacrifice. #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

An officer's kindness, care and advice during a traffic stop inspired a driver to change her life.

Most people drive daily and can do so while concentrating or thinking about other things. When this happens, and our minds wander, our feet can get a little heavy. Exceeding the speed limit is an activity that most drivers, if they are being completely honest with themselves, do at some point.

Unfortunately, traveling above the posted speed limit can result in being pulled over by a member of law enforcement. Is there a scarier or more adrenaline-inducing sight than seeing those blue and red flashing lights in your rearview mirror? No one wants a ticket, but when speeding, that is what often happens to motorists.

However, instead of a speeding ticket, the responding officer treated one motorist with kindness and gave her helpful advice. A clip posted on YouTube explains how the officer's kind words and understanding actions helped one young woman improve her life.

The woman, 20-year-old Abbie Rutledge, was pulled over for speeding. But that traffic stop led to a discussion with the trooper, J.T. Brown. Abbie explained that she was broke and could not afford to pay a speeding ticket. The two of them discussed possible career paths for the young woman.

Instead of a ticket, Trooper Brown gave Abbie a warning and a message.

"Promise me you'll go scrub or nursing school & school & slow down, & I won't give you a ticket," the note said.

Well, Abbie took the trooper's advice and kindness seriously. Abbie is now a surgical technician at the University of Alabama, Birmingham Hospital.  The trooper even attended Abbie's graduation ceremony.

"Five minutes talking to anybody, even if you don't know them, can make the largest impact on their life ever," Abbie said.

Abbie's change significantly moved the trooper and how she took his advice and kindness to heart.

"She made my entire career worth it. She did," Trooper Brown said.

A little girl expects cookies but gets an even better surprise! Little Macy could hardly contain her excitement as she held her favorite stuffed soldier close to her heart. The soft, worn toy had her daddy's picture on it, and it was her constant companion while he was away on deployment. Every day, she would ask her mom for cookies – her favorite treat – with those bright eyes and sweet little voice. But today, something special was brewing, and Maci was about to receive a surprise far better than any cookie.

The camera captured Maci in her innocence, holding her soldier stuffy and asking her mom again for her beloved cookies. But her mom had something different planned, a surprise Maci couldn’t even imagine. "Okay, Maci, what kind of surprise are you going to get?” Her mom asked with a smile, leading Macy away from the kitchen and outside, where the real magic awaited. Of course, Maci’s response was, “Cookies!”

Maci’s eyes widened in disbelief as they approached a giant box over six feet tall and wrapped in colorful paper. Her excitement bubbled over as she looked at the towering gift, thinking it must be the biggest cookie in the world. Giggling, she eagerly began tearing at the paper, sure that this was her dream come true.

But as the wrapping fell away, what Maci uncovered wasn’t a cookie at all. It was her daddy – the very same face from her treasured stuffed soldier, only now standing before her in person, home from deployment. Maci’s laughter turned to joyful shrieks as she flung herself into her father’s arms, unable to believe he was finally home.

The joy on Maci’s face was priceless, and her dad’s smile showed how much he had missed his little girl. That precious moment was beautifully captured on camera, warming the hearts of everyone who saw it. It was a powerful reminder of life's simple joys and the irreplaceable love we have for our family.

Moments like these fill us with gratitude, not just for the grand surprises but for the everyday blessings we often take for granted. Maci may have been expecting a cookie, but what she received was far sweeter – the gift of her father’s embrace. Thank God for moments like this that remind us of the incredible blessings in our lives.

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

For one high school volleyball team in Colorado, a dream they never expected to come true became a reality when Selena Gomez showed up at their game. Telluride Middle/High School students had playfully created a sign asking the superstar to perform the national anthem at one of their home games. They had no idea their request would lead to an unforgettable encounter with the singer and actress.

The sign, held up by the volleyball team, read, “Selena, will you sing the national anthem at our game?” They weren’t expecting her to respond—after all, how often does a pop star come to high school games? But little did they know Selena was in town for a weekend festival. She saw the sign and did something incredibly kind and sweet.

Selena showed up in the gym and was met with stunned silence. No one could believe she was there! It took a few moments for everyone to realize that the woman walking in was, in fact, the very star they had invited. From the video, the silence quickly turned into an eruption of excitement. The girls shouted, “Selena!” Within seconds, students and fans rushed to greet her. Selena not only said hello to the girls but stayed for quite a while, happily interacting with the teens and taking photos with them. 

Even though Selena didn’t end up singing the national anthem, none of the teens minded in the least. Her presence alone seemed to make the day special.

In a post on social media later, Selena shared her joy in being able to surprise the team. “They asked!! Couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” she captioned the pictures of her visit. Her warmth and kindness shone through, giving these teens a memory they will forever cherish.

Selena’s visit was heartwarming for these teenagers when a simple act of kindness brightened their day. What started as a simple request on Instagram became an incredible moment these teens won't soon forget. Not every day, a pop star comes to a high school volleyball game. Thank God for unexpected moments that remind us of the importance of making time for others.

Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."

You’ll never believe how this 96-year-old grandpa has the best birthday celebration at the ballpark. When he shared his simple wish, his granddaughter Courtney rallied the family to make it happen. The wish was simple: to spend the day watching his favorite baseball team at the South Padres game with his family. But the bigger wish was to see himself on the jumbotron. 

As they arrived at the stadium, one family member proudly held a huge sign that read, “Happy 96th Birthday, Grandpa.” It didn’t take long for the excitement to spread among the crowds who saw the sign. Fans started cheering as the group made their way to their seats, giving Grandpa many birthday wishes to have a great birthday. 

His granddaughter Courtney captured it all on camera, too. “It’s amazing to witness the goodness of people,” Courtney wrote alongside the video, capturing the overwhelming kindness from everyone around them. As the game progressed, many things made the day even more special. One woman caught a foul ball and didn’t hesitate to give it to the special birthday boy instead of keeping it. Of course, there was still one final wish that everyone hoped would come true–to see Grandpa on the big screen. It wasn’t too long before Grandpa saw himself up there. He couldn't help but smile and wave! 

All in all, it was the perfect birthday celebration. This elderly gentleman got to spend the day with his loved ones, take home a foul ball as a keepsake, and finally get his wish to be on the big screen. Stories like this remind us how beautiful life is when we celebrate with loved ones. It’s not the things that matter but making memories together. 

Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

A 99-year-old woman becomes a high school graduate eight decades after leaving school. Georgia McGarry never got the chance to hold a diploma with her class of 1944. Instead, she left school to help support her family by working at a pharmacy during World War II. But, the dream of graduating high school has always stayed with her. She knew supporting her family was more important and sacrificed her academic ambitions. 

Her dream of graduating never faded; it was something she longed to complete, and recently, to a special friend, her dream finally happened. A ceremony was held in Georgia’s honor. Surrounded by friends and family, she was presented with her diploma. She was so thankful her friends and family witnessed the special moment. 

“It means an awful lot because that’s been a long time ago to 1944,” she remarked, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.

This milestone moment was made possible thanks to her sweet friend Marie, who had worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that Georgia’s long-held dream came true. Marie said, “It was something she regretted her whole life and being 99-years-old, I thought it was important she get her diploma. 

Georgia’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to pursue our dreams and that God’s plans are always in his perfect timing. As Psalm 33:11 reminds us, “But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.”

Georgia’s dreams remind us to never give up hope on a dream, even if its eight decades in the making. Her diploma represents more than academic achievement; it’s a dream come true and proof that age really is just a number. We’re never too old to achieve our dreams.

Psalm 33:11 reminds us, “But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

A woman shares heartfelt and profoundly moving advice after the unexpected loss of her husband. Karen McNulty, a 37-year-old Seaford, New York teacher, is sharing her story of loss and the powerful lessons she has learned from it. She went from planning something special for her sixth wedding anniversary to planning Dominic McNultly’s funeral. 

Dominic, who was 40, began feeling sick, and Karen initially thought it was just a stomach bug. Seemingly out of nowhere, Dominic’s condition rapidly deteriorated. Karen had also noticed his arm had gone limp and finally convinced him to go to the hospital. But the next day, on their sixth wedding anniversary, Dominic passed away.

The suddenness of Dominic’s death was shocking. Karen later learned that he had succumbed to multiple organ failure caused by sepsis—a severe and often deadly response to infection in his intestines. 

After grieving her husband’s death, Karen shares gut-wrenching advice, but her wisdom shines through. “I want people to know that life is short and to be good to one another,” Karen said. With her heartfelt advice, she wants people to understand the importance of cherishing every moment and being present with their loved ones. “Show up every day for the ones you love. Don’t take those small moments for granted. Just be good to one another,” she added.

Karen went on to share how she hasn’t moved on from the loss. She shared how his toothbrush is still in the bathroom, and his clothes are still in the laundry room. She says her life is gripped by the reality she’s still waiting for him to walk through the front door.

“Each day I wake up, and I get out of bed for my son, for our son, and I try to give him the best life possible because I know that’s what my husband would want.” She adds, “You know if you find love and can have a family, that’s the best thing in the world. 

Her story reminds us just how precious life is, to hold close to those we cherish, and to appreciate the ordinary moments that make life special. Through her grief, Karen offers a powerful reminder to embrace every moment with love and gratitude, for life is precious and fleeting.

 2 Corinthians 1:4 “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble, with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

What this mom found after letting her daughter use her phone will move you to tears. When Delphine Expert handed her five-year-old daughter, Zoey, her phone to record “treasures” from their walk, she had no idea that the real treasure would turn out to be herself. 

Zoey, who has autism, was nonverbal until recently. Over the last year, she explored the world through music, ski lessons, and art and started to speak a few simple words. Zoey’s ability to communicate has blossomed, and she now enjoys expressing herself more, but it’s still a challenge.

Delphine posted a video online that Zoey recorded during a walk. The video shows Zoey’s perspective as she focuses on various items like a pine cone, a dandelion, the grass, the sky, the clouds, her car, and their house. Each of these elements is captured with the innocence and curiosity of a young child exploring the world.

The most heartwarming moment comes at the end of the video. Zoey turns the camera towards her mom and shares her feelings with a joyful declaration: “And there’s my beautiful mom. She’s the best mom. I love her so much, and she’s the best mom in the whole world.” Delphine’s heart swelled with emotion as she heard these words, evidence of the years of hard work and dedication she had put into supporting her daughter’s development.

The video highlighted Zoey’s progress and captured a moment of pure, unfiltered love. She commented, “With the help of a simple camera, words came out more easily when she was alone and having fun. And she managed to express in her own way all that love she has for me in her heart but would never be able to tell me this directly.” Delphine truly knew just how special this moment was.

The video is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys in life and the profound love between a mother and her child. Indeed, the greatest treasures are sometimes found in the most unexpected places.

Psalm 127:3 “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” 

Who says wedding speeches should be left to the adults? Grab a tissue and be prepared for tears to flow as a young man delivers an emotional speech at his big sister’s wedding. Toasts are often a way to share how special the bride or groom is in the lives of loved ones. Speeches usually contain a little humor, and some fun commentary, and sometimes they are incredibly heartfelt. 

No one expected 12-year-old Benji to cause tears. I’m sure everyone, including the bride and big sister Cindy Villanueva, expected a speech about the years of sibling rivalry. But what happens next brought tears to every eye in the room. 

The little guy was nervous as he held the microphone and looked at his speech. He started his speech by stating he noticed a change at home ever since his big sis moved out. “Ever since Cindy moved out, I noticed a huge change. Now, when I wake up, there is no one awake. I used to talk to Cindy every morning even if she was working,” he said. 

Benji couldn’t help but share how special their mornings were. “She would still take the time to talk to me. Then, when I could come back from school, she would ask me, ‘How was school?’” 

Now, this is where the speech melts hearts and fills your eyes with sweet tears; Benji said,  “I told her everything because she was like a best friend to me.” Even the bride and the groom began wiping the tears from their eyes. Benji became emotional, too, as his voice shook; he continued, “She always understood me and gave advice on what to do in school. Me and Cindy used to make cookies all the time, and ever since she moved out I can’t make cookies without her being there.” 

But then Benji shares the real gift he’s received now that his sister is married. He gets to go to Cindy and Jose’s house to make cookies together. Here, he not only continued to share a special bond with with his big sister, but he also found a new big brother in Jose. Their house now feels like home to Benji and he’s thankful his big sis found such a great guy. 

What a beautiful message! Benji may be just a preteen, but he already knows how precious family is. We hope you enjoyed this sweet, beautiful moment.
