If we want our lives to be refined and to grow in our faith, we must give the Holy Spirit permission to do His most important work of convicting us of areas in our lives that need changing; and then, we need to acknowledge these areas and respond accordingly.
Father, let us be churches that are known for celebration. Let us set up figurative stones of remembrance so that we can be reminded of your faithfulness on a regular basis. Help us not to forget who you are and what you have done through us.
Before God deals with other human relationships, He begins with family. “Honor your father and your mother.” Family is very important to God. Few things can bring us as much pleasure in life as our families. And few things can bring us as much pain in life as our families.
Go to God before you go to people. Ask Him for what you need then trust Him to provide it. God loves you with all His Heart. He wants you to trust Him just like a child trusts Him as their Heavenly Father.
What would marriage be like if we never conversed? What would it be like never sharing our feelings or our daily experiences with each other? What if we always sat silently in front of the TV? We wouldn’t have much of a relationship. We would be two people co-existing. Roommates. Business partners.
Heartache can make us feel lonely as if no one cares or understands what we’re going through. Those negative thoughts mislead us into thinking God isn’t there, and we are left to struggle alone. But the soul-satisfying truth is that God wants to see us whole. He is a God who heals, comforts, and restores our brokenness.
