God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes He carries you. But other times He pushes you to grow the strength you need to carry yourself. . .
If you have let some demon—an addiction, a toxic relationship, a sin you just can’t shake—strip you of your humanity, turn to Jesus. Let Him look at you and love you. . .
Knowledge can puff you up full of pride and suppositions, full of your own views about the world. But love builds up, imparts humility. Love cultivates in you a desire to understand more. . .
Everyone has different gifts. Do you consider your life a gift? Or do you find yourself wondering if there’s a better life out there somewhere?
You were bought at a price—at the immeasurably high price of Jesus’ life on the cross. Once you have accepted His sacrifice, you cannot behave as though you are on your own anymore. . .
God asks you to forgive others. The consequences—broken relationships, hurt feelings, damaged people— won’t be erased. But God does not want you to hold things over people all their lives. . .
If you go to Jesus, you will find the answers. If you study His life, you will see the order to your chaos. If you accept His grace, you will find who you were meant to be. . .
God watches over you like a parent watching over a sick child in the night. Except God’s eyes never shut, and He never tires. He is always there to comfort you, guide you, and hold you in His strong arms. . .
