Be patient with yourself and with God’s timing for your growth. You are in training to be with God for the duration.
He is not asking us to simply emulate His actions. He is calling people to Himself through us.
When Christians die, God hasn’t lost control. It’s because His plan is being fulfilled.
Dying to self is not ultimately about rules and the decrease of God's flow of blessings; it’s about the right relationship with God.
Strangely, as God shows us what it means to live an abundant life, He often takes us to a place where it feels like He’s disappeared.
When you base your life off the opinions of others, you slowly become a manufactured individual rather than the unique person God made you.
