God wants to use the people in our lives to bless us and for us to bless them. But if we choose to avoid relationships because we fear to be rejected or we feel like rejecting certain people ourselves, we can't live how God wants us to live. If we want to be like him, we have to learn to love like him.

Everything we want to do in life, every dream, every aspiration, every hope is connected to relationships. Relationships are a symbol of our understanding and acceptance of God’s love for us. How do we transform relationships and environments that invite people in?

God doesn't demand anything from us. We don't have to make sacrifices, he made the greatest sacrifice once and for all. We don't have to earn his grace, we just have to open our hands to receive it.

God wants to fill our boat - but are we making our boats available for him, are we willing to go deeper, to row out and to let down our nets?

God has entrusted us with many talents and things. It's our responsability to use them so that we will receive authority and gain increase in our lives.

Have you ever been to a pet store and seen a rat in a cage, running inside a wheel that is spinning but going nowhere? Do you feel like you are in this rat race yourself when it comes to money and finances?

Many believers go through life thinking that because they are not rich, they are poor. Some keep hoping for the day when they will become rich and have no more challenges. But our father in heaven has already made us far richer in things that matter.

Many people know how they should live, yet feel unable to do anything about it - because they are resistant to change and because they find it difficult to break away from external influences, ways of thinking and conclusions formed in their mind.

Are you a silent griever? Do you believe that you can never show weaknesses, doubts and that you have to be cheerful and happy even though your heart is breaking inside of you?

If we just try to change our attitudes or behaviors without dealing with our basic mindset, the changes will only be temporary. Only renewing our mind can deliver us from limping around in the failures of our past.
