There is so much above us. Yet, in God’s choosing, He made us but a little lower than the heavens. We are made in His image, and we were created with purpose. Let this cause you to look up in awe and live from a place of humble surrender before Him.

There is a reason for the season that you are in. No matter the trials or blessings, trust the Lord and give Him your yes. Make it a point to rest in the Lord and encounter Him in whatever season you’re in.

If we want to leave a legacy, we have to pay attention to how God made us and to God’s will. This life, more than anything, is about being shaped into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father. That is all that is going to matter when we stand before Him at the end of our life.

If you’re feeling frustrated in midlife, give it to the Lord and experience the freedom of knowing that God has something more for you. There is a reason for the season that you’re in. Lean into trusting the Lord, and lean into the relationships that God has placed in your life.

Parents, as you lead, steward your child’s heart and not just their behavior. Lead them in trust of the Lord and a generous life. And recognize that not every lesson has to come from you; allow life and the Lord to bring instruction and discipline as well.

Parents, your children don’t need perfection, they need your presence. God wants to use you uniquely in their lives through the ups, downs, joys, and struggles. Make your family a priority and your home a place where their hearts are built up.

Married couples, let’s enjoy marriage. Have some fun. Prioritize prayer and encouragement. Walk in the ways of God. Learn to fight fair. When you do these things, you will grow in your relationship, and you will begin to look more like Jesus.

One of God’s last words to the church on marriage involved two commands. A husband is to love his wife, and a wife is to respect her husband. While this may seem simple, these two commands are contrary to our nature. If we don’t walk with empathy and a heart that seeks to understand the goodwill of one another, we will find ourselves on what Dr. Emerson Eggerichs calls the "crazy cycle." Listen to part 2 of this message, and learn how to get off the crazy cycle.

In marriage, we can sometimes find ourselves in the crazy cycle, and though it may not seem like it, there is a way out. We can break the cycle when we realize marriage is about loving and respecting Jesus through our spouse and living for His “well done.”

Singles, in whatever circumstance you may find yourself, let God do something great in your life. He hasn’t forgotten about you, and He loves you very much. Live from a place of surrender and walk in His freedom.
