Mr O aka kamal Imani shares his life success lessons

In an emotional video, former American Idol contestant Emmy Russell praised and thanked God for caring about the “little details” in our lives.

Life is an unpredictable experience, a series of ups and downs. Unfortunately, we will also experience periods of hurt, sadness and heartache. No one will be able to leave this Earth unscathed and without feeling immense grief and pain. Sadly, that’s part of being a human being. 

However, while we endure that pain and go through those dark valleys, God will remain by our side. He will provide comfort, healing and rest. He is faithful and has promised to stay by our side in our time of need. 

However, because of God’s never-ending love for us, He will go above and beyond simply remaining by our side. He knows us intimately and understands each person’s personality and individual needs. He even cares about the little, often overlooked things in our lives. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Emmy Russell, granddaughter of late country music legend Loretta Lynn, praises God for caring about the “little details” in our lives. 

Through tears, Emmy says that she was recently thinking back on her “Coal Miner’s Daughter” performance on American Idol and experienced a vision of herself in Heaven with her grandmother.

“I feel like, I saw like, God just bring my grandma, and like, me just like, give her a deep hug, of like, ‘I miss you and I love you,’” she said.

She said that moment and vision from God brought her a lot of healing and closure. 

“I love that God cares about, like, those little details, of, like, healing and, like, having closure,” Emmy said. “And I feel like I just experienced closure listening back to that song.”

She added, “It’s just so sweet that God cares about just every detail of our life.”

Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.”

Legendary rock musician Alice Cooper has shared his powerful testimony about his return to and faith in Jesus Christ.

The world is a lost and fallen place, many whose inhabitants don’t know Jesus or may have known Him at one point but have since fallen away. God loves all and does not want to see anyone perish. He even sent His one and only Son to die on the cross, taking our place, but He is a just and righteous God who keeps His word. 

For those who fail and refuse to let Jesus Christ into their hearts, Hell awaits them. That’s a frightening thought, but in a clip posted on social media, Alice Cooper said it caused him to return to Christ. However, Christ’s love ultimately opened Alice’s heart, mind and eyes to see and truly understand God.

“I came to Christ because of my fear of God,” Alice said. “I totally understood that Hell was not getting high with Jim Morrison.”

Alice adds that after returning to the Lord, he heard about God's love, which completely changed his life and perspective.

“But I went to another church, and that pastor preached the love of Christ, which, now you put the two together, and it was exactly right,” he said.

Later in the clip, Alice stated how Jesus Christ came into his heart and changed his life, turning his entire world upside down and allowing him to see clearly for the first time. 

“But when the Lord opens your eyes, and you suddenly realize who you are and who He is, oh,” he said.

This dramatic change caused him to almost give up music, to stop being Alice Cooper the rockstar. However, Alice’s pastor at the time encouraged him to continue music but just one who follows Jesus Christ and now leads out a rockstar lifestyle. 

God has a never-ending love for all, and He will continue chasing after the lost, hoping they turn to Him. However, the ultimate decision of whether we accept Christ or deny Him is up to us.

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”

'Amazing Grace' is one of the most well-known and dearly-loved hymns ever written but everyone who has experienced or witnessed God's grace in action in their lives or in the lives of others would agree that such grace is surely much more than just 'amazing'. We congratulate musicians for an amazing performance, footballers for an amazing goal or friends for an amazing new hairstyle but find grace to be far beyond such an over-used adjective. For some people, grace seems so unfair, especially when shown to the worst of us that we can be outraged by what appears to be injustice. But God's grace is truly outrageous because our sin in so awful yet God's love is so great! Read the stories told in the Bible about forgiveness that show us grace which is beyond our comprehension - outrageous grace!

Christian musician Ben Fuller shared his powerful testimony, telling a crowd of concertgoers, "God had other plans for my life.”

God has an immeasurable and endless love for everyone and wants everyone to repent of their ways and turn to Him. He does not want anyone to continue in their lost and sinful ways and perish. However, we still have free will and have to choose God or not. He will not and cannot make that decision for us.

While everyone has free will, God still has a plan and a purpose for our lives. If we turn to Him and ask for forgiveness, He will slowly start to reveal His plan and will for our lives. Whatever His plans for our lives may be, they will always be better and more meaningful than anything we could have ever hoped to do on our own. 

Ben shared his short but moving testimony in a clip posted on social media. He states that before coming to God, he was trying and failing to fill a hole, a void in his life with everything he could think of, including drugs and sex. 

“But it didn’t stop there, 14 and a half years - cocaine, alcohol, sex - you name it. Everything to try and fill every void in my life, and nothing, nothing worked,” Ben said.  

However, things soon changed when Ben moved to Nashville to pursue country music. The Lord had another direction for his life and musical pursuits.

“God had other plans for my life, and He knew I loved country music, and so He moved me down to Nashville, Tennessee,” he said. “I was going to sing country music for a living, but God had other plans for my life.”

Once in the Nashville area, Ben was invited to church. There, he asked the Lord to forgive him and repair his brokenness and hurt. 

“I’ve tried it all, I’ve done it all, and when Jesus came into my life, oh, like a wrecking ball, He knocked out all that stuff, all that junk,” Ben said.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “So if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Don't let your circumstances dictate how you feel.

God is building your testimony.

A young woman, a 13-year-old actor and author with Down syndrome captivates and inspires.

Life is often not a fair experience. No one will get through this life without knowing the feeling of pain and hurt. There will be instances that leave their mark, leaving us battered and bruised. However, some people seem to encounter and confront more than their fair share of hardships and trials. 

But, despite those trying situations and circumstances, quitting is not an option. In fact, those difficulties can be used for good, making us stronger and propelling us on to bigger and better things. 

Mia Armstrong is an excellent example of this idea. The teenage actor, author and activist with Down syndrome has not let anything hold her back. 

With humor and grace, Mia explains in an interview on CBS Mornings that she believes Down syndrome is her superpower. She also talked about her book, “I am a Masterpiece.”

Mia adds that she wants people to be kind to one another, whether they have a disability or not. 

However, Mia understands that even when people say mean or hurtful things to her, she tries to give them grace and be patient with them because people will sometimes “forget their manners.”

Mia is a lovely, inspiring young woman with a beautiful heart and outlook. It’s clear that Mia also has a wonderful, loving mother. Mia’s mom joined her daughter during the interview segment and called the opportunity to raise a child with Down syndrome a “privilege.”

“It is a privilege to raise a child with Down syndrome,” she said. “Mia has taught our family so much about patience and persistence.”

She also told Mia that she is inspired every day by her because she never gives up, no matter the situation or circumstance. 

Mia is an inspiring young woman who has accomplished so much in her young life. Who knows what she will do next? 

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Legendary comedian Jeff Foxworthy spoke in front of a large crowd and shared a powerful message about not being ashamed of the Gospel or the name of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ can take anything and everything and make something beautiful out of it. It could be the worst situation imaginable, and God can use it for good and the building of the Kingdom. Or it could be a seemingly insignificant, hilariously awkward speaking engagement that can be used to change the lives of others. 

In a clip posted on social media, Jeff mentioned how he was invited to speak at a wild game dinner in his home state of Georgia. Jeff told a friend of his that, for some reason, he believed God was calling him to speak at that event. 

When Jeff got there, it wasn’t exactly what he expected. He made a startling discovery. There was no stage, light or microphone at what turned out to be a goat rope. But thousands of people did show up to hear Jeff speak. 

So, on a makeshift stage, Jeff did some comedy and then talked about Jesus Christ. Years later, God revealed to Jeff how his appearance at the odd gathering made a difference in someone’s life.

While at church, one man informed Jeff that he had attended that event and gave his life to Jesus Christ that night. 

Jeff encouraged the audience to listen to God whenever He speaks to us, pushing us to act and do something for Him.

“So, whatever it is you do in your life, be bold for Him,” Jeff said. “Do not be ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ because He is our only hope.” 

Jeff added that we must be bold for Him because there is a lost and dying world that needs to hear about the love, grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
