When we're in the heat of the moment, it can be difficult to separate how we should react from how we feel. God wants us to react in accordance with his truth about us: that we are accepted, sure, an…

When we find ourselves stuck in destructive circles, what is it that keeps us from getting out of them? We tend to avoid pain at all costs—even if it means sacrificing growth. But changing our perspe…
