The Bible teaches us that God’s answer to self-criticism lies in nurturing a learner’s heart.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
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.
