POWERHOUSE DEVOTIONALS: EMBRACING JESUS ACROSS ADVERSITIES AND BREAKTHROUGHS

By Michelle Adlawan Breis

In the depths of despair, I found myself lost and alone, grappling with hardships that seemed overwhelming. Days without food, a past consumed by sin, and a heart burdened with grudges weighed heavily upon me. In the midst of my struggles, I have found Jesus and everything changed, from how I behave to how I perceive life.

"And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28

This has become a beacon of hope in my darkest moments. Despite the trials I faced, I realized that God was orchestrating a beautiful transformation in my life.

Through His grace, I found comfort amid chaos, strength in moments of weakness, and provision in times of need. Jesus became my anchor, guiding me through the storms and now leading me to a place of breakthrough.

"For anyone who is in Christ, the old life is gone; a new life has begun!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17

I am no longer defined by my past, as I now embrace a new identity in Christ — a redeemed soul, forgiven and free. My journey from hardship to breakthrough is a testament to God's faithfulness to transform even the most broken life.

Now, as I reflect on my journey, I am reminded that God's plans for us are far greater than we could ever imagine. He can turn our trials into triumphs and our pain into purpose. With Jesus by our side, indeed, there is always a breakthrough.
