Aren't we all like little birds, flittering here and there, looking for a place to build our nest?

And aren't we all, like little birds, occasionally stupid?

This is why it's so important to be aware. Be conscious of the fact that Satan is always trying to set a trap for...

We are never, ever alone.

Sometimes it may seem like we're stuck in this world, without anyone who completely understands us. Without anyone who loves us for us. Without anyone who desires us. Without... well, without anyone.

That's just not true. Ever.

God tells us over...

Are you still clinging to the simplicity of your childhood? Is your heart easily swayed by the enticement of earthly pleasures? Are you offended by those who don't think, act, or speak the same as you? Do you let petty disagreements disintegrate relationships? Does you...

It is so easy to get upset when we're working our tail off and those who are slacking seem to get the same (or better) rewards. 

You know what? Our attitude toward our work is what really matters. Does someone else's lack of work really affect how you should be doing yo...

Psalm 64:6

Sometimes, we fail.

Sometimes, we get stuck in our sin.

Sometimes,...

We can't be led astray from what we know to be true... but what is truth? Often, we simply overcomplicate our definitions of everything.

God is truth.

God is love.

God is forever.

God is. 

That's it.

Yeah, I'm just gonna let this one sink in for a minute...

...half the time, I'm not even sure what's going to come out of my mouth. God knows our hearts, our thoughts, and everything in between. He's not surprised by what we say (or think)! He loves us and chooses us an...

God knows everything about us; not just the parts of us that we share with others or even just the parts of us that we're willing to accept. He knows every intimate detail. He knows our ins and our outs, our desires and weaknesses, the things we're proud of... and the...

Keep God involved in your life. Make God your guide. Listen to His wisdom and ask for His guidance. If we involve Him in every aspect of our lives, from the mundane detail to the perplexing problem, He will not only take care of us, but He will do it in the most perfec...
