We don’t need to be afraid of pain or trouble because God will use it to transform us.
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 want to be cared for, known, understood, and loved for who we are. God is the starting place for this kind of intimacy.
