Hi friend, I know we are all easily aware of our weaknesses and failures. We are constantly reminded of them by others, ourselves, or even by the season and struggles that we are facing right now. Our weaknesses are not the big danger that we should be fearing, it’s the fear of your delusions of strength. It’s not us that is strong, it is God that it is strong. It is because of Him that we are where we are today. When you’re telling yourself that it is you that is strong, you are quickly unexcited about God’s rescuing, transforming, and empowering grace. How would God use our weaknesses and why would he put that upon us? I made a...
Hi friend, I’m sure we’ve all experienced a big “no” from God when we want something so desperately or believe something was supposed to work out. It stops us in our tracks and can make us doubt God or even lose a little bit of our faith. Now, how do we know God is saying no to our prayers? That’s simple.

You have laid your hand on me! This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible! Your understanding of me...
We can read all the self help books, listen to the feel good sermons where the focus is ourselves and they’re trying comfort us, but you cannot help yourself. Those preachers, podcasts, and books aren’t helping you, they’re hurting you. They’re stunting your growth because God doesn’t want us to be comfortable in our sin and ungodly ways.
