Religion puts itself above people and protects itself at any cost. Jesus protects people at the cost of his own life. When we stop trying to force others to conform to a religion and instead allow Jesus to transform us, we become the source of His love to them.

When bad things happen and we wonder where God is, we’re tempted to dismiss or deny him. Although God is not in control of everything, he is always working with us to bring good out of anything, even something evil.

But when we focus instead on what God is doing in our own lives, we are free to love others without judgment so they can experience God’s love, too.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub

When our faith takes a beating and we hit rock bottom, it’s tempting to give up and walk away from God altogether. To survive a crisis of belief, we need unshakeable foundations that will hold us up when everything around us is falling apart.

The only perfect parent is our Father God. When we allow God to be our primary parent, we’re free to love and honor our earthly parents, no matter what our story looks like.
