so many hard-hearted and hard-headed Christians right now are honestly just confused about the truth. but I was reminded today just how much glory God receives from changing a hard heart. God repeatedly hardened Pharoah’s heart so that his glory could multiply. do it again God!
I don’t want to underestimate the presence of God in my life. he is so much holier than I can ever imagine and he chooses to be so much more present than I’ll ever deserve.
love can’t be defined by our own ideas or experiences, the only true basis of love is Jesus himself. his sacrifice, devotion, his desperate desire to be near to us. all other portrayals of love miss the mark and leave us disappointed. love is so much grander than we often think
I love how the Bible is full of stories that are honest. because it’s raw and real, I can see myself and my imperfect life in its pages. if God did something through someone else’s brokenness, he won’t abandon me in mine either. this gives me hope.
Christians seem to be distracted. I think we’re being ineffective at loving the world right now because we want the attention and affection of the world more than we want the attention and affection of God. collectively, we need to do better at seeking the Kingdom first.
God spoke the world into existence, it was his word that set everything into motion. if his words can do that, how much power do they have over our lives? let God speak to you, let his written words wash over you. what comes from God’s mouth is what will change your life.
