Though God is constantly at work orchestrating outcomes, his timing rarely aligns with ours. And so we wait. And wait. And sometimes, wait some more.

Money loves to lure people in and trap them. The Bible warns about its effects and instructs us to guard our hearts against it. When it comes to people to watch out for, be wary of money-chasers.

When it comes to discerning others’ character, watch out for self-promoters. They can often be found applauding themselves, seeking attention and demanding special treatment.

Consider the Apostle Paul your new joy coach, not because he jumped from one high to the next his whole life, but because he learned that deep and lasting joy can be present even in life’s hardest moments. If it can be true for him, it can be true for you, tooद्वारा Eddie Lowen

We live in a “get-even” society where vengeance and retaliation are encouraged and celebrated over forgiveness. The latter is rarely easy, but it’s the only way to move toward resolve and healing. Love keeps no record of wrong, so ask God to help you forgive others as he has forgiven you.द्वारा Michael Swearingen

Insisting on my own way, prioritizing my preferences, and seeking my well-being over others’ does not exemplify the life of love God calls us to in 1 Corinthians. Love is, after all, patient and kind. It’s not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. And it certainly does not demand its own way.द्वारा TJ Dane

Love is not just a word. It must become a way. It’s not just a feeling, rather, it needs to be a habitual behavior. In a world bent on outrage and reactivity, practice love by being patient with others when they fall short. After all, it’s how God loves you.द्वारा Chip Ewald

As we enter into Holy Week, reflect on the events that led to Jesus’ death on the cross.
