When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
The morning is a precious time to connect with God.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
Even when we face the impossible, we can still have faith because God can do anything.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
As we walk closely with God, he makes us great too, giving us the power to live remarkable lives.
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.
In this week's Mini Quiet Time, we'll look at a story where Jesus had to choose to be vulnerable and what came as a result of his decision.
