A couple of bad decisions spiraled, or bad choices became even worse habits. Before you know it, life has sunk to a place you never thought it would reach. And the way we try to solve the problem? We dress our mess up to look like we’ve got it all together.

But when we’re honest with ourselves, no matter how good we look on the outside, on the inside, we’re still a mess.

We’ve all been there. Maybe you’re there right now. Mess is something all of humanity has in common.

But in our mess, there’s hope. Because that mess didn’t send God running. Our mess is what drew God near.

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ: to the chosen, living as exiles…” With these words, Peter opened his letter to followers of Jesus who were spread out and isolated, struggling and suffering.

The message Peter wrote back then… inspired by the Spirit of God… is a message God still means for us now.

Because, as believers, we will experience suffering. But it’s not what it seems. Suffering is not being done to us… it’s for us. And as we move through 1 Peter, we’ll see that even when we suffer, we’re called to live well.

We’re called to live like Jesus.
