Self-criticism is crushing, but God can free us from it. All we have to do is be teachable.
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.
Let’s look at why we should embrace failure, learn how to let go and let God work, and see what it looks like when we move forward.
What we’ve experienced is that living by religious rules is a very tempting way to avoid facing the insecurities in our hearts.
Learning why we distance so we can learn how to draw closer to God.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
Regret is painful, but when it is attached to spiritual failure (mistakes or sins), it can destroy our faith.
