Day 3: What If Your Past Is Just a Preview?

Reading: 2 Timothy 1:8-9, Isaiah 43:18-19

Devotional: Your past mistakes don't disqualify you—they set up your testimony. Everything you've been through was preparation for what God will do through you. The scars from your story can become someone else's source of strength. Previews aren't the main movie; they're just glimpses of what's coming. God doesn't want you dwelling on former things when He's doing something new. Your struggles with self-image, suicidal thoughts, broken relationships, or family conflict—these aren't the end of your story. They're the preview. After you've witnessed and dealt with hard things, you can help yourself better in the future and help those around you. Many of our experiences aren't original—others are struggling too, and your breakthrough can become their hope.

Reflection Question: What past struggle could become a testimony of hope for someone else?
