Inspirational Messages
If you listen with the Spirit, your heart will be softened, your faith strengthened, and your capacity to love the Lord increased.
The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough. Pride is ugly. It says, If you succeed, I am a failure.
In today’s world, no matter our circumstances, it is essential that our preeminent identity is as a child of God.
The experience of same-sex attraction is a complex reality for many people. The attraction itself is not a sin, but acting on it is.
