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.
God can give us faith and teach us how to love big!
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.
