God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
Jesus' life was a powerful example and inspiring blueprint that guides us in living a life of faith that changes the world.
We can learn to start each new day aware of the strengths and talents God has given to us, and consider how he wants to work in our lives to change the world.
Often, the challenge that I face is that I get inspired to want to make a difference, but don’t realize that I first must allow God to change me.
Believing that tomorrow can be better than today, having faith that my actions today can make a difference in someone’s life is what makes us keep going when life is difficult.
There are many lessons that we can learn from studying the life of Jacob in the book of Genesis that will help us understand our unique purpose.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Each of us was given a destiny. God chose our talents, our passions, our abilities, our strengths, and our weaknesses all before we were even born. Our destiny is not just about us.
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.
Jesus was sent by God to be the chief persuader. He was on a mission to convince, and in John 11:32-44 he is faced with grief, one of the most traumatic afflictions of faith any human being can experience. The sisters of Lazarus had watched their brother die when Jesus failed to arrive, and were plunged into deep grief accompanied by doubt. This grieving doubt had an emotional effect on Jesus as Scripture says he was “deeply moved” (John 11:33,38).
“Deep Spirituality” is about removing the robes that cover up the true and deep feelings of our hearts.
