When we love God with all of our hearts, we will have the capacity to love people wholeheartedly and live out the exciting destiny God has for each of us.
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.
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
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.
Once our faith in God is strong, it becomes easy to overcome the temptation to be cynical in human relationships.
