God is looking for something that he often doesn't find, a heart that seeks him.  May he find what he is looking for in us.  

God does not motivate us with threats.  He doesn't need to.  His promises awaken our desire.  

It matters what we love because it shapes who we are.  It is formation by affection.  So make the object of your love the perfect character of God.

It's a pretty simple formula.  God acts, we respond.  God pours out his love and we respond with praise.  

When our eyes are opened to God's presence we realize that there are more with us than against us. 

God see us in our suffering!

We are not complete. But Christ is! And he wants to live in us!

Jesus said, “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you” (John 5:14). These words are not a coercive threat, they were a gracious invitation. 

When God looks at you and says, "Well done my good and faithful servant!", in that moments we're not worried about life being fair anymore.  We're not stressed about injustice. We're just grateful that we were faithful.  Maybe the short view in your life right now is really frustrating and it makes you just want to give up.  Take the long view!
