It's not always easy to admit to ourselves or others when we have given up on something
Guilt, pain, and failure are three of the most difficult experiences in our spiritual lives
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
While it isn’t wrong to feel angry, God can give us the power to handle this emotion in a spiritual and helpful way.
Returning to God is the only way we can stop living for people, stop being afraid of being different, and rediscover what it means to think differently.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
We can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
When we love vulnerability, we will open our hearts to God and others.
God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
The holidays are a time to celebrate hope, and there's nothing greater than the hope God brings with the birth of Jesus.
