The parable of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son remind us that God pursues us and is excited when we find Him.

The problem with cover-ups is that they require lies upon lies to maintain or make happen. Restoration happens in our hearts, and God is there to forgive our sins if we truly ask Him to forgive us.

God's love stories fit into His plan for our lives, and we think we see what He is doing, and then He surprises us.

Each story is unique, and God works to restore each person differently. There is no one-size-fits-all in God’s restoration plan. However, the one thing that is consistent across all of God’s restoration plans is - His Son dying on the cross for each one of us to bring redemption to our lives.

“Generosity is a matter of the heart, not the wallet.” You may be surprised how He honors your giving. The giving of your “first fruits” is an act of trust especially if you might be wondering if you can make rent or put food on the table.

The simplest way to describe prayer is, it’s a conversation between you and God. Conversations can be one-sided, give and take, or a healthy back and forth. God is a big God, and He lets us ramble or He can reach out to us while we sleep.

Developing a Bible reading habit is the same. Spending time each day in God’s Word allows you to hear His voice especially in your busy seasons.

Banish the distractions, and live a focused life in pursuit of what God has laid on your heart for 2022.

Thankful hearts are repentant hearts. Thankful hearts are restored hearts. Thankful hearts are patient hearts. Thankful hearts leave space for the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.

It’s 2022, and as we begin a new year, hope is in the air. Every new year offers us a new beginning. We can build on dreams from the previous year, tackle audacious goals, build a business, and continue our spiritual journey.
