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.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
A lot of the problems we get into in life come because we are searching for love—often in all the wrong places.
