Wisdom in Awe and Wonder

Wise people express awe and wonder.

God doesn’t shame you like the world does. Your body and personality are good in his view.

We cannot tolerate sin and call it good. But we can still love and forgive the sinner.

Satan tricks us into doomsday thinking calling it responsible concerns. Jesus draws us back to his hope.

Don’t deny your fears, but also don’t give in to doomsday thinking. When you are scared, cry to Jesus. He will calm and redirect you.

We feel sorrow because of our own foolishness and mistakes. But God wants to comfort us, otherwise we cannot comfort others.

Don’t compare your pain to other’s sorrow. God honors your unique pain, so tell him how much it hurts, even if others seem worse off than you.

what to do when a loved one’s depression becomes despondency.

Monitor our thoughts so we can recognize lies that Satan plants there to trick us into thinking they are our own.

Ignore liars who tell you it does not hurt. If you feel pain, it hurts, and you are allowed to cry. God invites those tears so he can comfort you.
