One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
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.
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 can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
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.
Vulnerability is usually not the first thing we associate with being strong, but the Bible tells us true strength actually comes from embracing our weaknesses.
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.
