God longs for us to freely pour out every single emotion, no matter how toxic, right before Him.

Being yielded to God's authority keeps us pliable and open-minded to a possible change of plans.

When we resist God, we draw near to Satan.

Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.

How often we expect big things from God without preparing for big things from him

A crushing hurt comes to our heart and the sympathizing, scarred hand of Christ presses the wound; and just for a moment,the pain seems to intensify,...bu t finally the bleeding stops.

It's a strange thought that sometimes God trusts us more than we trust Him. God trusts you - can you trust Him?
