God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
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.
