The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
Learning from Jesus to see past our failures and find our potential.
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.
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.
How God helps us develop honest and meaningful relationships that enrich our lives.
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.
Is your faith strong enough to inspire the next generation?
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
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?
Conquer is a word descriptive of but rarely used to define Jesus. It means “to defeat an enemy, or take control or possession of a foreign land.” In this sense, Jesus comes as the light to conquer a world filled with darkness.
