A young business owner gave $1,000 to his church and thanked God for his success. This hardworking and entrepreneurial young man is thoroughly impressive, yet he remains humble and understands who is responsible for his success. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this young business owner and the tear-jerking thing he did to help out his church.

Everyone wants instant success, and with that highly desired, sought-after success, they hope a fair amount of money follows. Of course, that's not typically what happens. Most individuals don't simply wake up and are handed tons of cash. People who live in the real world understand that before success, a lot of hard work and dedication come first. That doesn't sound like much fun, right?

Children who learn and understand that hard work and dedication are necessary to achieve anything worthwhile will be much better off than their peers who have difficulty grasping this lesson. Parents who don't teach and show their youngsters this are only doing them a disservice. They will learn it one way or the other, eventually.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man, 12-year-old Quentin Hines Jr., knows all about hard work. He has his own business, which allows him to do something he absolutely loves: mowing lawns.

"I really, really love it," Quentin said. "I really love it."

The young man said his ultimate dream is to get a job mowing the lawn at one unexpected location.

"Ever since I was younger, I always wanted to get a contract with the Charlotte airport," he said. "And, like, sometimes when I go out there, they will have the mowers out there. So, I would like stand there for a while."

As the clip mentions, the young man's business is growing rapidly, and he's acquiring new customers at an impressive rate. But he's not keeping all his profits for himself. He gave $1,000 to his church to help it pay off its mortgage.

"When you put things into the world, it always finds a way to come back to you," he said.

Even with all of his success, the 12-year-old business owner understands who is ultimately responsible for it.

"It mostly feels like God really just opened a lot of opportunities for me," he said. "And He really just showed me that this is what He wants me to do on this Earth. I love it, and I will never stop, never."

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;"

One man's unexpected heartwarming act after he heard someone's bike was stolen will bring you to tears and momentarily restore your faith in humanity. It was likely that no one saw what was about to happen. Watch the short but powerful clip to witness the man's unbelievable act of kindness and love.

Kindness is in very short supply today. Ask anyone, and they will likely fully and completely agree with that statement. Far too many people have this dog-eat-dog mentality, where they are only concerned about themselves and couldn’t care else about anyone else. This selfish, uncaring, cold-hearted thinking is on full display nearly everywhere – social media, television news broadcasts, the workplace and in government.

While examples of people acting in a cruel and uncaring manner are plentiful, some still go out of their way to show others kindness and love. Gentle, caring and considerate people still exist, but their efforts don't get nearly enough attention. A clip posted on YouTube shows how one man responded when he learned that another person's bike had recently been stolen.

The video shows the inside of a restaurant and points out that a man's bike was stolen while he was enjoying his breakfast. What kind of person steals a bike? You have to be a special kind of evil to take someone else's bike or to steal anything, for that matter.

Well, while the man in the restaurant was the victim of a theft, little did he know he was about to be the recipient of a heartwarming, unbelievably kind and loving gesture. The video mentions that when someone in the restaurant heard about the bike theft, he went out and purchased a bike for the man, replacing the one that was stolen.

The kind gesture obviously meant a lot to the individual. After being presented with the bike, he turns to the camera and is all smiles!

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."

Purity culture left many believers with wounds—shame, fear, and distorted views of God’s love and grace. If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of worthlessness, regret, or fear because of your past or your body, this prayer is for you. In this gentle, Scripture-based devotional, we bring our hearts before the Lord and ask for healing—body, soul, and spirit. God's grace is bigger than our stories, and His love does not hinge on our perfection. You are not too far gone. You are not damaged goods. You are beloved. 📖 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." — Romans 8:1 📖 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3 🙏 Prayer: *Father God, We come to You on behalf of those who carry the weight of shame, confusion, and spiritual hurt from purity culture. For the hearts that feel tarnished, rejected, or unloved—remind them of Your truth: that You see them, know them, and deeply love them. You are not ashamed of them. You are not disappointed. Heal what was twisted. Restore what was lost. Show each person that their value isn’t based on past choices but on the finished work of Jesus Christ. Remind them that purity is not about perfection, but about wholeness in You. Help us walk in grace, extend compassion to ourselves and others, and rewrite the narrative with Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.*

Jamie MacDonald’s moving testimony will touch your heart. The Christian music artist shared her rough and painful upbringing and how God’s love transformed her and completely changed the direction of her life. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear Jamie’s testimony.

This world is a lost, broken and fallen place full of hurting, struggling people calling for help. 
They are desperately searching near, far and everywhere for anything that might provide even the slightest bit of relief. People are looking for anything to give them hope in a hopeless, lost world.  

Sadly, this search for hope and pain relief can and does send people to some pretty dark and hopeless places. However, no matter where we might go or what we may do, we are never too far from Him and His love. He can make the broken whole again and bring about beauty from ashes. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jamie shares how the Lord changed her life, gave her a purpose and direction, and provided her with comfort and healing.

Jamie admits that as a result of her rough and painful upbringing, she was broken and “never really felt loved as a kid.” This hurt, and her search for acceptance and love eventually led her to drop out of high school and join a gang, and she got into drugs and alcohol. She says that she “found a family in that atmosphere.”

But praise God that is not where Jamie’s story ends!

Jamie said the turning point happened when she saw some of her friends overdose and even die. One night, she prayed, “God, if You can get me out of here, I would love a new start. I would love to sing for You and live my life for You.”

The Lord answered her desperate plea, giving her a way out of that lifestyle. She eventually found and joined a church, became part of a missions ministry and even went to Africa for a month.

During that mission trip to Africa, Jamie found her love for music again. Not only did she find music again, but this also led her to find and reconcile with her biological father during the last few years of his life.

What a powerful testimony that demonstrates God’s unbelievable love, grace and mercy.

Hebrews 4:16 “Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.”

A Walgreens worker stepped in and saved a woman from being the victim of a costly scam. The young man went above and beyond his job responsibilities to keep a customer from handling over a ton of money. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see and hear what the young man did to help an elderly customer.

The world is often a mean, cruel and cold place. Nearly everywhere we look, we see evidence of that being the case – any television news broadcast and social media, for instance. Part of living in such a fallen and troubled environment means some people are out there determined to take advantage of others. They will use any vile means necessary to trick and swindle people out of good, hard-earned money.

A clip posted on YouTube tells of a woman who was about to become another scam victim. She was prepared to hand over hundreds of dollars to individuals as part of a scam. That was until one attentive and caring Walgreens employee, Cody, stepped in and took decisive action.
The young man mentioned that he recognized the woman as a regular customer. However, her behavior during this trip to the store was anything but regular.

“She was buying some gift cards for $500, which I thought was weird because I’d never seen her buy gift cards,” Cody said.

Cody also noticed a phone number from California continually calling the elderly woman. The woman admitted the individual calling was the person for whom she was purchasing the gift card.  Cody instantly understood that the elderly woman was being scammed, saving her from forking over hundreds of dollars.

Another woman in the store at the time, who saw Cody help the elderly woman avoid becoming the victim of a scam, was deeply moved by his actions.

“He could have just said, ‘This isn’t my problem,’ rang them up and sent her on her way,” she said. “And the fact that he recognized the scam and said, ‘I’m not, we’re not going to be a part of this. We’re stopping this right here,’ was just so wonderful to see.”

Cody added that he always thinks of his grandmother and would want someone to do the same for her if she were in a similar position.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good but keeping in mind the things of others.”

Tears started flowing as the groom delivered an unforgettable wedding day surprise. His sweet and heartwarming move will likely have you brushing away a tear or two. Watch the short, but tear-jerking clip to see what the groom did and hear the reason for his touching gesture.

Weddings are significant, momentous and life-changing occasions for every couple. They are the opportunity to recognize and witness the formation of a family as two people vow to remain with one another regardless of what life may throw their way. What could be better than that?

Typically, weddings are a chance to celebrate the couple standing at the altar in front of family, friends and God, and rightfully so. We should be so honored to be able to share the bride and groom’s big day with them.  All we, as guests, ask for is a plate of food at the reception and the slightest bit of cake, and that’s it, I promise!

However, in one clip posted on YouTube, a groom, Zach, used the occasion to surprise his bride, Hallie, her parents and everyone in attendance. When it came time to recite his vows, he also used American Sign Language. Both of his bride’s parents are deaf, and he wanted to show them how much he loves and is committed to them as well. He wanted them to feel included, as he said, and signed his vows to their daughter.

The clip mentions that no one knew what Zach was about to do when it came time for him to say his vows. The young man attended night classes for four months before the wedding for that big, tear-jerking moment.

“The moment Zach started signing and saying his vows, I immediately started tearing up,” Hallie said. “The way he included my parents made it even more meaningful, and it reminded me why I chose him, and I’ll keep choosing him every day.”

But that wasn’t all.

After the ceremony, the video captures the moment Zach presents his in-laws with his ASL certificates at the reception.

What a powerful moment and a beautiful way to show someone how much they matter and are loved.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all that you do be done in love.”

One dad invited the stepdad to join him in walking his daughter down the aisle. This sweet and completely unexpected move will have you brushing away tears from your eyes. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the stepfather’s response and everyone else’s reaction.

Weddings are often incredibly emotional events, causing many to carry tissues just in case they spring a leak from their eyes. You may even get a little teary-eyed thinking about the last wedding you attended. It’s entirely understandable why people would become emotional during a wedding ceremony. It’s a big, life-changing event for the happy couple standing at the altar as they pledge their unending love to one another.

Nearly everything that’s involved in a wedding ceremony carries much significance and meaning with it. That’s likely part of the reason why planning a wedding typically requires several months. You want everything to be just right, with nothing out of place, which is entirely understandable.

Another great thing about weddings, as captured in a video posted on YouTube, is that they can bring people together. A bride was about to make her grand entrance, walk down the aisle and meet her future husband waiting at the altar. Everything was set to go, but the father of the bride had something he had to do first. He made his way up the aisle by himself, approached the bride’s stepfather, and asked him an important, and heartwarming question. He asks him to assist in walking his daughter down the aisle.

What a beautiful and classy move from the biological father. He did not have to do that, but he wanted the wedding to be about his daughter and her groom, not himself. That’s likely to be a memory the bride will remember for years.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”
