Whether it’s past pains, hurts, experiences, accomplishments, God wants us to look forward to his life and plan for us.
God wants to be real to us–he wants us to see him through our own eyes.
In our moments of frustration and failure, we need to turn to God and his Word to find the strength to keep going.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
