One of the defining crises of midlife is refusing to admit the truth to ourselves that we’re getting older.”
When life gets hard and unexpected challenges take their toll, it’s easy to start making compromises.
No matter what problems you may face, God has a way to make them purposeful. God helps us change our perspective so that we see problems as opportunities.
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.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
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.
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?
