It's not always easy to admit to ourselves or others when we have given up on something
Spirituality not only resists the pressure to fit in with the world but also rises above it.
When our relationship with him is close, courage comes naturally because we trust God to protect us
Personal conviction is something internal that guides the way we live our lives
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail 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.
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.
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.
The holidays are a time to celebrate hope, and there's nothing greater than the hope God brings with the birth of Jesus.
