worldview
We all have a worldview from which we live. How does the Bible affect your view of life, God, and self?
Passionate Love
So often we sing of God’s passionate heart for us. We need to see that this is the same heart He wants in us for Himself. God is looking for people who pursue Him with the same intensity that He pursues us.
You Are Better Than You Think
If God speaks to us the same aggrandizing words to us that we read in the Bible, why do we question if it is really Him? You are better than you think.
Why We Exalt Him
We do not exalt God to create distance between us but actually to draw us closer. We are creating more room for God to say how wonderful we are.

Mary Shows How to Respond to God

My voice sounds silly. I make noises when I breathe. My teeth are crooked. My ears are too big. Whatever you have struggled with, realize that you are quarreling with God. You are saying that God did not know what He was doing when He created you.
God Makes Things for Beauty
In heaven things are made for beauty not merely utility. Streets of gold. Go beyond what is required and bring life into whatever you are doing.
God's Heart Bursts With Longing For You
And so, to begin with, you might ask yourself, “Did I have a father with whom I felt safe?” and, “Did I know I was prized by my father?” “Was I invited to be a boy, did I get to live a boy’s life as it was meant to be?” You might even want to write out your answers to those questions, especially the follow-up question, “Why . . . or why not?” Tell your story, at least to yourself, and to God.
