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.
Asking God for self-discipline won’t amount to much if your motive is not to love others.
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.
Building our convictions on the Bible will help us trust God to meet our present needs and to fulfill His plans for our lives and our families.
