Guilt, pain, and failure are three of the most difficult experiences in our spiritual lives
God enjoys the process of helping us become who we’re meant to be
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
Everything in our lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly—is part of the process of becoming who we are meant to be.
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.
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.
