strangers

deep down, are you a stranger to yourself?

Prayer fails quite often for obvious reasons:

  • I don’t spend enough time doing it
  • I’m not really committed to it
  • Deep down I feel I don’t deserve grace, mercy, and other blessings

Sound familiar?

dyson won't dry our tears, but God always will (if we ask)

The best time to cry out is anytime you feel you need to. Anytime. God is always right there waiting to talk with you. If you don’t feel close to God, guess who moved?

Who’s move should always be first?

blame

try not to be a stranger to yourself, and stop blaming others

Here’s the way most people think: I’m not doing it unless they’re doing it. I’m not going to say something if they’re not going to say something. I’m not approaching them if they’re not approaching me. See how easily this becomes a trap?

Don’t blame spiritual people for not initiating your salvation. You must always make the first move. It’s called being an adult.
