The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
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.
Everyone can become a spiritual leader, but it begins with the decision to allow God to make you into one.
How to go from apathetic to inspired.
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.
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.
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.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
