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.
Jesus' life was a powerful example and inspiring blueprint that guides us in living a life of faith that changes the world.
Jesus had the resilience to continually going back to God in prayer to face his fears of dying. He did not give up but kept fighting with God to get the faith to move forward.
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.
A conviction is a belief you hold onto firmly.
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.
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.
Spiritual awareness means never settling for the superficial view that human resistance is responsible for our difficulties.
