God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
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.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
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.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
