How to develop a heart that won’t quit on loving God or each other.
One of the defining crises of midlife is refusing to admit the truth to ourselves that we’re getting older.”
In a moment of crisis, some unlikely but life-changing relationships can be forged.
The New Testament Christians were unstoppable because they had such an unwavering faith, convinced of God’s purpose for them.
When life gets hard and unexpected challenges take their toll, it’s easy to start making compromises.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
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.
