When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
The morning is a precious time to connect with God.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
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.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
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.
