In this devotional, we’ll learn to focus on connection instead of criticism, being grateful instead of being good, and letting God teach us to love.
When we reach out for and find God, we'll discover that life with him is incredible.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
How to get rid of the blocks we have in intimacy so we can build inspiring and enjoyable relationships.
We all want to be cared for, known, understood, and loved for who we are. God is the starting place for this kind of intimacy.
My whole life I have evaluated myself by how much I have gotten done and have resisted slowing down or pacing.
Only intimacy with God can satisfy my soul, and having a deep relationship with God will help me build deep relationships with people around me.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
God’s forgiveness and love can soften even our most ungrateful hearts and motivate us to treat others around us with love and compassion.
Gratitude is a quality of being thankful or grateful regardless of the circumstance. Who is someone you know that’s grateful all the time? What would your life look like if you learned to be grateful?
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
