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.
Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
Vulnerability is key to building real and meaningful 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.
When we live with a genuine faith in God, we are not afraid to dream, imagine, sacrifice, or take risks. Our confidence is in the God of Scripture, whose presence and power flow through those who have chosen to believe.
Faith makes the impossible possible. Our relationship with God should produce the kind of faith that moves mountains.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
Being vulnerable with God means being comfortable with our weaknesses because we know God’s power is greater than any of our weaknesses or flaws and that all our strength and courage comes from God. There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
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?
“Deep Vulnerability” is a one-day quiet time in which we examine the life and faith of Hannah in chapters 1 thru 3 of I Samuel.
