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.
God trains, guides, and directs us even when we don’t realize it.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
Asking God for self-discipline won’t amount to much if your motive is not to love others.
To experience a transformation in our lives we must embrace spiritual training and discipline.
God is always moving on behalf of the good. One thing he is always trying to do is make up for where we are lacking, and in this way he wants to be the parent we’ve always needed and desired.
Discipline is the ability to have enough self-control to be trained, molded and taught in order to achieve something you desire or need. What area of your life do you want to see change? How can God helping you be more disciplined help you achieve that change?
Focus is giving a lot of attention, time, energy, etc. to one particular person, group, or activity. It’s having the ability to do one thing at a time, well done.
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?
God loves us and he guides us through discipline and training, just like a father who cares deeply for his children. How and where is God guiding your life?
