A Broken World, But There Is Still Hope in Jesus

Every day, it feels like the world is getting darker. When I turn çon the TV, all I see are sad stories, bad news, and toxic behavior. It seems like people are more angry, more confused, and more lost than ever before. I feel tired. I feel overwhelmed. I sometimes just want to turn it all off and not look anymore.

It used to be that the news was about important things—community, health, and progress. Now, the headlines are full of violence, hatred, and division. People hurt each other over small disagreements. Families are falling apart. Children are growing up without direction. It’s heartbreaking. I ask myself, “What is going on with the world?”

When I go online to work on my business or check my accounts, I see things that make me uncomfortable. Women post pictures wearing almost nothing, acting in ways that used to be private. It seems like modesty is gone. Being respectful and pure is not popular anymore. Instead, being loud, flashy, and provocative is encouraged.

And men—many of them are confused too. Some are trying to change their identity, wanting to become women. I don’t hate them. I know they are searching for something. I know they are hurting deep inside. But it makes me wonder, how did we get here? When did people stop being thankful for how God made them? The world says, “Do whatever makes you feel good.” But that kind of thinking leads to more pain.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here anymore. Like I’m living in a world that has completely lost its way. I’m not judging people. I know we are all sinners. I’ve made mistakes too. But I can’t help but feel the heaviness of it all. It’s too much sometimes. So I don’t watch TV anymore. I stay off the news. I keep my focus on what I can control—my faith, my business, and my calling.

I believe Jesus is coming back. The Bible says that before He returns, the world will be like this. People will call evil good and good evil. People will be lovers of themselves, disobedient, and full of pride. That’s what I see now. But I don’t live in fear. I remember that when Jesus comes, there will be a loud trumpet sound. We will know. We won’t miss it. And if we belong to Him, we don’t need to be afraid.

Until that day, I want to be faithful. I want to be a light in the darkness. I want to help people find their way back to God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I want to remind people that there is still hope. That God is still good. That no matter how broken this world is, we can still choose to live with purpose, kindness, and truth.

We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change the world around us. One person at a time. One kind word at a time. One prayer at a time. When I see a friend who is hurting, I can offer a listening ear. When I see someone confused about life, I can gently share God’s Word. When I run my business, I can do it with honesty and love. I can be different in a world that has forgotten what truth is.

It’s easy to feel alone when you stand for what is right. It can be lonely when you choose to live with morals, when everyone else seems to be doing the opposite. But I know I’m not really alone. God is with me. His Holy Spirit gives me strength every day. When I feel tired, I pray. When I feel frustrated, I open my Bible. When I feel like giving up, I remember the cross. Jesus didn’t give up on us, even when we didn’t deserve His love.

That gives me hope. That keeps me going. Because I know that this world is not my final home. One day, Jesus will return. He will make all things new. There will be no more pain, no more tears, no more confusion. Just peace. Just joy. Just truth.

Until then, I will do my best to be a voice for Jesus. I will keep reminding people that no matter how lost they feel, they can come home to God. I will speak love, even when others speak hate. I will choose peace, even when the world chooses violence. I will stay true to my faith, even when the world mocks it.

Because in the end, only what we do for Jesus will last. The fame, the money, the popularity—it all fades. But a life lived for God brings eternal reward. So I press on. I don’t let the noise of this world distract me from my purpose. I live each day as a chance to share hope. To share truth. To share Jesus.

Yes, our world is broken. But Jesus came to heal the broken. He came to seek and save the lost. He came to offer life, and life more abundantly. That’s the message I hold onto. That’s the message I will keep sharing.
Even if only one person listens, it’s worth it. Even if the world doesn’t change, I can still make a difference where I am. So I will keep going. I will keep believing. I will keep loving. Because I know that one day, when I hear that trumpet sound, I’ll see my Savior face to face. And He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

And in that moment, all the pain, all the confusion, all the brokenness will fade away. And I will finally be home.
