Deep Spirituality

Love is powerful! It motivates us, transforms us, and fulfills us. Without love, we will feel empty, lost, and insecure. The Scriptures communicate that God wants us to experience his unfailing love and believe in its power. We will then be able to share his love with others, creating a ripple effect that changes the world.

Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging. Left unchecked, they can completely take over our minds and stop us from seeing ourselves and our lives from God’s perspective. God loves the deepest parts of who we are, and his purpose for us is greater than any flaw we may feel that we have.

Listen to these verses of the Bible to combat self-criticism with God’s love and truth.

Isaiah 55...

God cares about what we really think, not just about what we do. Instead of filling our minds with negative thoughts that make us feel guilty and distant from God, we can listen to his Word and train ourselves to think the way he does. His thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours. As we let him influence our thoughts, we will learn to think positively and spiritually about both ourselves and the world around us. 

When our personal conviction comes from the Bible, we will be strong, courageous, and faithful to God through the ups and downs of life. We will also find the power and motivation to make changes in our lives, even when they’re not easy. We’ll be on our way to the full and satisfying life God wants us to live. 

Let’s listen to this Scripture Playlist to learn how to become a person of conviction.
