God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
God should be our priority, not someone we squeeze into a busy schedule.
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.
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.
