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.
God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
We can learn to start each new day aware of the strengths and talents God has given to us, and consider how he wants to work in our lives to change the world.
Often, the challenge that I face is that I get inspired to want to make a difference, but don’t realize that I first must allow God to change me.
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.
Believing that tomorrow can be better than today, having faith that my actions today can make a difference in someone’s life is what makes us keep going when life is difficult.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
There are many lessons that we can learn from studying the life of Jacob in the book of Genesis that will help us understand our unique purpose.
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.
The key to turning our emotion into action is trusting God.
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?
