Jesus gives us the ultimate example of how to love, connect, and have deep relationships.
When our goal is to love people, we don’t have to worry about success or failure in life
God wants to give us lasting confidence and teaches us how to get it through his early disciples.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
We need to evaluate how the pandemic has influenced the way we build relationships if we are going to move forward toward God's destiny for us and our friends.
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.
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.
