FROM THE KEYBOARD

We cannot expect to hear God’s voice if God doesn’t ever hear our voice. In other words, God has an ear for those who have a heart to pray. And those who pray will have an ear to hear God's heart. "Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" (Psalm 116:2)

The grace of God's heart is stronger than the shame in our hearts. "If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything" (I John 3:20).

Pursue relationships that glorify the heart of God, not ones that impress the eyes of man. "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm" (Proverbs 13:20).

It doesn't matter what people say about you. It only matters what God says to you. And He says, "You are forgiven in spite of what you've done, for you are redeemed solely because of what I've done. And what I've done has forever covered you because of the sacrifice of My Son. You are mine and you are worth it; this is My doing, and no devil can undo it.”

Sometimes one of the fastest ways to get to where God needs you is to be still. You see, stillness before God often progresses you quicker than movement for God. Therefore, "Be still and know that He is God" (Psalm 46:10).

When we see God in everything, He brings perspective and purpose to everything we see. Perhaps the circumstances you are in may not change, but to see God is to surrender to His unchanging sovereignty and that most certainly changes you.
