One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
What we’ve experienced is that living by religious rules is a very tempting way to avoid facing the insecurities in our hearts.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
No matter how great our talent or resources, insecurity ignored will undermine us all.
