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
To truly love God is to value and listen to his Words, just as we would in any other relationship we care about.
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.
The morning is a precious time to connect with God.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
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.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
In this week's Mini Quiet Time, we'll look at a story where Jesus had to choose to be vulnerable and what came as a result of his decision.
