The Parable of the Sower teaches us how to grow in the self-awareness necessary to be close to God and others.
We don’t need to be afraid of pain or trouble because God will use it to transform us.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
Our heart condition affects our relationship with God a lot. If we don’t understand ourselves, we will misunderstand God.
Growing more aware of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly — increases the intimacy in our relationship with God and others
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
Without God giving us the strength to keep pushing through, we will become discouraged and fail under pressure.
This is a study on how to stay calm and be at peace even when life gets crazy. Whether school is stressing you out, you feel anxious about the future, or you have conflict in relationships with friends or family that you’re afraid to deal with, God wants to be a place of refuge even in the midst of chaos.
