When life falls apart, you may wonder if Jesus is still near. Today’s story will remind you that even in the ashes, He hasn’t left you.

What do you hold on to when life goes up in flames—literally or figuratively?

After a devastating wildfire, one man searched the rubble of his home for a single fragile item—a tiny baby Jesus figurine. What he found became a powerful reminder that even when life is shaken, Jesus is still present.

In this episode, Pastor Bart Leger explores the deep comfort of Jesus’ promise to be with us always, even in the middle of loss and disappointment. Whether you’re walking through grief, confusion, or an unexpected setback, this devotional will remind you that you’re not alone.

Scripture of the Day:

“Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

—Matthew 28:20 (NLT)

You’ll Learn:

• Why disappointment can make us feel abandoned
• What God promises when we feel brokenhearted
• How small reminders of Jesus’ presence can anchor our hope

Takeaway Challenge:

If you’re walking through disappointment today, take a few minutes to name what you’ve lost—and ask God to show you one small way He’s still with you.
