The problem with well-being culture is not its diagnosis—mental, emotional, and physical health are real needs. The issue is that it lacks a coherent vision of what well-being actually is. buff.ly/QUtV2HS
Being older has some advantages over being younger because I have resources of experience that my younger self didn’t have, so I get to be generous now in ways I couldn’t then. buff.ly/b0bP6t8
Many believers admit their prayers lack depth. At times, we struggle to focus or simply don’t know what to say.
In The Lord Is My Light: A Liturgy for Daily Prayer, Trevin Wax has arranged 366 daily readings to encourage regular, prayerful meditation on God’s Word. 🧵
Bring both the disappointment and the gratitude to God. Let him ask the questions you’d rather avoid and trust him with the outcomes you wanted but didn’t get. buff.ly/8uAnn28
God will make a way, but we must make a move. Throughout Scripture, He gives His children the freedom to choose how they will respond to his leading. buff.ly/zs1vORP
If we believe our help comes from the mountains, I have incredibly good news. We’re wrong. Psalm 121 is the calm and kind voice of a friend telling us that we’re looking in the wrong places for shelter, help, and hope. buff.ly/ebKDbqz
I don’t want to be an older woman who disappoints others by not having the spiritual maturity that my experience makes possible. buff.ly/b0bP6t8
Let the blue dot serve as a reminder that you fit on an actual map in a specific time and place. God has purposed you to exist. Your certainty in Christ helps you view God, the world, and yourself with accuracy, fostering continued significance. buff.ly/OE8gdat
Growing up in the church, I loved Jesus, but there was a massive gap between my faith and my everyday life. I knew my eternity was secure but didn’t know what it meant for today. I knew I was going to heaven but wasn’t sure how to live on earth.🧵
The Spirit, through reading the Word, illuminated a deeper question that went beyond my first-day reflections. It’s a question we should all ask: Am I walking in obedience to him? buff.ly/i9tjj1r
Suffering is no excuse to sin, and we cannot let our guard down when we are hurting. We must be vigilant, alert to the host of temptations lurking beneath our grief and distress. buff.ly/Pd8uIRE
As so often happens, it's not until we come to the end of ourselves that we recognize God's work over our own. When I could barely string a few minutes together in the pew, he showed me that I wasn't there to perform for him. buff.ly/HiAbkks
God is certainly more than happy—but he’s not less. He is happy and holy. His holiness is a kind of happy holiness, and his happiness is a holy happiness. What we often put asunder, God keeps together. In heaven we will glorify God and enjoy him forever. buff.ly/QxTPoSV
As an image bearer, dignity is God’s intention for you. If you are in Christ, dignity is immovably yours. And yet—it won’t always seem that way. In a post-Eden world, none of us are immune to shame. buff.ly/ebOHSpU
I’m a bicentennial baby, so this has been a milestone year for me, and it feels different than I expected. At a young friend’s bridal shower this summer, her mom gave a beautiful devotional, looking back over her daughter’s life.🧵
She remembered the days of a little girl standing on her daddy’s feet to dance with him, and looked forward to a different kind of daddy/daughter dance after he would give her hand to another man.
Her mom quoted Ecclesiastes 7:10, “Say not, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.”
