God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
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.
This Mini Quiet Time about the Parable of the Lost Coin can help us understand God's heart toward us when we've lost our way.
We can learn from this story that when we see how much God trusts and believes in us, we’ll trust him too.
The moment we change our view of God is the moment we will see the hope, forgiveness, and connection that come with having a relationship with him.
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus makes it clear that a relationship with him is about understanding.
Jesus gives us access to insight we could never fathom on our own through storytelling.
What is influencing you the most during this pandemic? Has it been the news, discouragement, your emotions, or God, the Bible, and spiritual friends?
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Journaling is a great way to help us navigate the emotions we feel, but we have to make sure to use this incredible tool spiritually.
