The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
A lot of the problems we get into in life come because we are searching for love—often in all the wrong places.
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.
But how do we become a light that shines brightly before others? The first step is making sure we choose not to live in darkness ourselves.
Five ways Jesus can teach us to show compassion when we want to be critical.
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
Being vulnerable with God means being comfortable with our weaknesses because we know God’s power is greater than any of our weaknesses or flaws and that all our strength and courage comes from God. There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
God’s forgiveness and love can soften even our most ungrateful hearts and motivate us to treat others around us with love and compassion.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
