To change the world, we must change the church. This starts with every Christian deciding to transform personally, beginning with our personal relationship with God.
Many Christians become deceived because our entire experience is lived within the church. God wants us to expand our world to see he has bigger things in store.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
God uses what we are going through to give us the opportunity to build relationships and it is up to us to accept that lesson. We need to believe that God puts us right where we need to be.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Spirituality is living life with a faith that is deeply convinced God chose us to change the lives of others. Do you believe all your successes and sufferings are part of God’s shaping of your life to care for the lives of others?
