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
God wants to be real to us–he wants us to see him through our own eyes.
One of the many great things about having a personal friendship with God is that he satisfies.
Jesus endured the pressures of sin, and we can learn from him how to do the same.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
In our moments of frustration and failure, we need to turn to God and his Word to find the strength to keep going.
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 need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
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.
