What we’ve experienced is that living by religious rules is a very tempting way to avoid facing the insecurities in our hearts.
We can find joy in serving God and others. No matter what’s going on in life, our home life improves when we look outward instead of inward.

There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
