I’ve discovered six areas you need to watch out for so you don't give the enemy access to your life and relationships. In fact, the tools God gives are effective to keep us.
The thing I’ve learned about changing is if you’re motivated by despair in yourself you’ll only ever see how far you need to go. But if you’re motivated by love for God, you’ll be filled with gratitude for how far you’ve come.
I'm constantly amazed at this upside-down heavenly kingdom we're a part of. The things I often prioritise are not as important in the heavenly realm, and then—surprise, surprise!—the things God emphasises for his eternal citizens seem upside-down to me!
Why would God allow tests? Because he's building relational and vocational trust (remember, we're God's sons and daughters and his kingdom ambassadors), and he wants to entrust us with more!
Life is filled with decisions. The path we journey on is not always clearly marked or a straight-forward route. I’ve had to navigate many forks in the road, and sometimes the path itself has been hard to see.
