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.
Jesus had a relationship with God that gave him peace, power, and purpose in a chaotic world.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
Jesus had a mission! Everything he did in his life fit into the mission God had for him. Do you know your mission? Jesus accomplished his mission. Are you accomplishing that mission?
God loves us and he guides us through discipline and training, just like a father who cares deeply for his children. How and where is God guiding your life?
