God's mindboggling plan of voluntarily dying for us took the devil by complete surprise. He thought he was pulling off an absolute victory, stirring up those in power to kill Jesus. Then he found out that it was actually his most humiliating defeat instead. In the same way, every time he tries to harm you and me, God turns it around for our good. This is His secret wisdom!

Did Jesus say, "Follow me, and become self-made men"? Nope. Instead, HIs words of invitation were, "Follow me, and I will make you..." As we respond to that call, He Himself is going to transform us into what we were born to be. What is our part? Simply to be with Him.

Does it seem to you like there are some people with a direct line to heaven... but others who struggle much more to connect with God? How does He pick the ones that get to have that special connection with Him? This week we dig into these wonderful questions. Spoiler alert: You get to be His chosen friend!

Jesus has promised to make known your Father to you. He intends on doing this continually, so that we would know Him better and better. The end result of this will be that His amazing love will ever be on the increase in our lives. In fact, Jesus longs for us to experience the same endless love the Father has for Him!

In God's hands, time is an elastic, expandable substance. He can pack a mind-blowing amount of value into a tiny fraction of our lifespans. He really does mean it when He says that He will restore to us the years that the locusts ate. You and I can fully trust the Master of Time!

Are you in need of clarity and direction? You've come to the right place. Jesus IS your wisdom. Let's lean into close relationship with Him. As we walk with the Wisest of all, we will resemble Him more and more. The way forward will become peacefully clear as we learn to just be with Him.

Sometimes the heartache that we face in this life seems deeper than we can handle. Jesus has a word for our hearts about this. His love is able to reach us in the middle of the worst pain we face. Nothing in all of creation can take that healing love from us.

Sometimes there are areas of our lives that seem beyond hope of healing. If that is the case for you today, you have come to the right place. Jesus specializes in exactly that kind of impossible!

At the very center of the universe is belonging, intimacy, and indescribable love. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit beckon you into this oneness in the heart of God. Abide in love, and love in you...

Do you sometimes feel small in this great, big universe? Jesus did too. Today we talk about His experience of smallness and vulnerability. He came to find out how to navigate life in a human body... and to show us how to do it. He promises to take us by the hand and walk with us every step of the journey.
