✦ MADE SIMPLE

Listen up, Judah and Israel — I know you've been through it. You were seen as cursed by the nations around you, like everything you touched went wrong. But I'm flipping the script. I'm going to rescue you, and instead of being known for bad luck, you'll be known for bringing good things to people. So don't be scared anymore — keep your hands steady and stay strong.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's turning your reputation from cursed to blessed — so stop worrying and keep going strong.
