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
The heart is powerful enough to determine the course of our lives: what we feel, what we say, and what we do.
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 are not meant to carry our fears, guilt, insecurities, or anxieties alone.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
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.
Vulnerability is usually not the first thing we associate with being strong, but the Bible tells us true strength actually comes from embracing our weaknesses.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
