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.
We can all look to the Scriptures to learn how to build a relationship with God, the ultimate Father.
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.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
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.
What is influencing you the most during this pandemic? Has it been the news, discouragement, your emotions, or God, the Bible, and spiritual friends?
In the midst of dealing with the ongoing stress of 2020 and the pandemic, it can be easy to just want to run away and hope all of our problems will be magically solved. But no matter where we run, our stress doesn’t leave us.
For such a time that we are in, we are given an incredible opportunity to not tread water spiritually, but to take advantage of everything that’s going on - to learn and to transform.
