How do we get out of the constant cycle of comparison?
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
The Bible is full of people who have learned from God how to be friends that understand, connect with, admire, challenge, and love each other.
Though Zacchaeus came with baggage, Jesus’ decision to love anyway completely changed Zacchaeus’ life for the better.
When we learn to make God a personal friend, he will become real to us, and in doing so teach us how to become a “true friend” to others.
Transparency is one of the best weapons we have against the loneliness the world around us is experiencing.
God created each of us to be original, with unique talents, personalities, backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses.
Some people are acquaintances. Some are life changers. We can learn from Jesus how to become life changers.
Do you understand yourself? God knows who we really are and can help us get to the root of things. We just have to be willing to let him.
When times get tough, we need to rely on God and friends instead of handling life independently.
“Deep Transparency” is a spiritual state of security with God, where we overcome our fear of being emotionally honest with him and people.
