Book: 2 Corinthians

Without repentance, our hearts can grow hard & will turn away from God. Sin is deceitful & will trick you into thinking you are safe to continue living however you want. If there is any relational distance between God & you due to sin, drop everything that stands in your way & restore your relationship.

We must feel neither condemned nor comfortable in absence. If we become comfortable in this world, we have stopped our search. If we become defeated in absence, we have forgotten the assurances of God. God withdraws to lead us deeper into Himself because He loves us, & by that same love He will return.

Essential NOT Optional Ephesians 2:8-10, Hebrews 11;1, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

What comes into your mind—Comes out in your life.

When our beliefs about God’s power, goodness, love, and generosity clash with the awful events that occur in this world, we feel unbalanced. … Hope is … Your Savior is bigger than your suffering.

Unfortunately, the reason you & I are not more blessed is because we still actually believe it is more blessed to receive than it is to give.
