Does this world make you crazy, too? 🤪
It’s easy to try and hide away from the chaos, but we have to rise above! 🙌🙌🙌 Be grateful for the gift of every day, choose to tune out all the noise, and focus on the sounds of heaven, instead! 🔊☁️🎶

Since the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden, people have been hiding from God when they sin, but that is not His will for us. God wants us to run to Him—not from Him—in our times of weakness and failure. He already knows everything we try so hard to hide, because nothing is hidden from Him.
Jesus understands our weaknesses and failures, and His arms are always open wide to comfort us. Don’t shrink back in fear of your Lord when you know you have failed. We do not please Him or give Him delight when we run from Him. Don’t let anything separate you from the love of God. Stay in close relationship with Him, talk to Him about everything, and never throw away your confidence. Repent and know that because of what Jesus has done for you, your sins are forgiven.
“Father, thank You for Your great mercy and amazing love. I am grateful that I never have to hide from You and that Your love is unconditional. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
I used to get so hurt by people. I would expect them to do something, and when they didn't do what I thought they should do, I felt let down and frustrated. I got to the point that I was angry almost every day because of peoples actions or lack thereof.
But God began showing me that my expectation was in the wrong place. Rather than looking to people, I needed to look to Him. He is my source, my strength, and my expectation. When we understand that and put our expectation in God rather than people, then we can actually enjoy people more.
We won't put as much pressure on them and there will be more freedom in our relationships. No one else is responsible for your joy. As long as you are putting that expectation on them, you are going to be unhappy, and the relationship is going to be strained. Only God can give you true peace, joy and contentment.
