Don't believe everything you feel. Our emotions are the greatest liars we know.
Preach the truth to your emotions and the truth will begin to change your emotions by the power of the Spirit.
We naturally fear what we do not know. People who have never had close relationships with other people will fear intimacy and avoid closeness with others.
You only love God as much as you love your neighbor.
You only love God as much as you love your enemy.
You only love God as much as you love God’s image-bearers. All of them.
God knows how to make up for lost time. That time you spent hiding, afraid, off-course, don’t worry; your time is coming. God is going to make it up to you. He knows how to accelerate, how to speed things up.
“I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” Psalm 91:2
It is good every day to tell the Lord who we regard him to be for our souls. That we take refuge in him. And that we trust him.
Tell him from the heart that you trust him.
You need to evaluate your friendships. Are they making you better, inspiring you to reach your dreams, or are they causing you to compromise, take the easy way out? You’re going to become like the people you continually associate with.
