God enjoys the process of helping us become who we’re meant to be
Everything in our lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly—is part of the process of becoming who we are meant to be.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
We all experience feeling stuck at times, whether it be in hardships, relationship conflicts, failures that follow us wherever we go, or guilt that feels too big for us to carry on our own.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Though in the moment our difficulties may feel like they are too much we can handle, God uses them as opportunities for us to grow.
When we live in denial of what we are struggling with or having a hard time overcoming, we get stuck, settle, and are never able to do the impossible God is ready to help us achieve.
