Jesus calls us even now to come out of whatever temporary tombs in which we find ourselves in to receive new life in him.

Jesus is the very definition of humility and forgiveness. And God asks us to be the same? Sounds impossible…so why does God expect it from us?

God asks us to be cheerful givers. But can we give away valuable things (money, time, possessions) and still be cheerful about it?

In many places throughout the bible God reminds us to not be afraid. But fear is natural, so how does that work?

Rejoicing isn’t the hard part. It’s the additional “always” (and “continually” and “in all things”) that give us cause to pause.

None of us love God or our neighbor the way he commanded us to. So how does Jesus expect us to obey what seems impossible?

The very impossible nature of what God commands is not to make us work harder but to drive us into the arms of our merciful Savior.

Do you doubt yourself? Do you doubt God? You’re not alone. And God could still use someone like you.

How might your love of something as simple as valentines, poetry or Hallmark movies be used by God to express his love for others?

Who’s your closest, most trustworthy friend? Our friendships with others and our integrity can be used by God in powerful ways.
