Maybe its time to stop ignoring, denying, and numbing away are feelings of sadness and actually allow God to use them to make us better.

Anger can play a role in your life but it should never be the main character

True happiness is not a matter of circumstance, it's a matter of choice.

If I'm ever going to experience emotional renewal in Christ, I've got to let some things die.

Emotion should be a healthy part of a Christ centered heart. Emotions are more than a feeling and God instructs each of us how to live an emotionally healthy life.

From the story of Joseph, we can learn how to change our perspective on the difficult and unexpected situations of our lives. When our life cashes and we don't have control, God can still use it for good.

No one is out of reach for the hope and grace that Jesus provides. Find one more for God's kingdom!

The lesson of forgiveness is massively important. Not only is receiving it from Jesus needed for your eternal life, but we must be willing to give it unconditionally to other people, including those in the family of God. Without forgiving those who hurt us and also ourselves, we never truly experience the freedom and joy we are meant to have.

We want change. But how often do we try to find it in all the wrong places? The hard truth is, the change we long for the most can only come from living like Jesus. This process takes time, and it requires us letting go of ourselves and allowing God to work and refine us. Come into his love, and let Him change your life.

Everyone plans to one degree or another, some even plan not to plan. For the follower of Jesus planning is good, but I must always ask God to over-write my plan with His way!
