Mess to Messenger 
We don't have to let our past determine our future. Mary Magdalene was a demon-possessed and followed Jesus right after he cast out the seven demons off her. When everything seems dark and hopeless, she chooses to wake up to go to Jesus's tomb in the morning. She doesn't need to do that, but she decides to go. She was with Jesus early in his ministry until they laid his body in the tomb. Follow him no matter the cost because the reward is always more prominent than the cost.
