Being human is really hard... You have to have enough self-respect and self-confidence to do the things you can but not so much that you can't accept your limits.

"Sabbath isn’t simply about taking a day off from work; it is a spiritual discipline that allows us to connect deeper with God, rejuvenate our souls, and find true rest. We should hold the practice of Sabbath rest in high regard. It is a beautiful way to worship God and create intentional time with Him."

These days, life constantly feels fast-paced and demanding. We’re either moving from one thing to the next, we’re scrolling endlessly on social media, or we’re thinking about how to get that promotion, the new house, or how much more money we can make. This lifestyle makes finding time to rest...

Learning how God speaks so we can hear Him
Dallas Willard

"I believe the single most important thing I have to do is to encourage people to believe that God will speak to them and that they can come to understand and recognize his voice. There are many beautiful stories in the Bible about this. Read the story in Genesis 24, about Abraham’s sending his eldest servant back to his relatives to find a wife for his son Isaac. It’s an important task, and the servant is clearly worried about it; he asks Abraham what to do if he can’t get a woman to come back with him. Abraham tells him that the Lord will “send his angel before” him (v. 7). The man doesn’t believe a word of it. Yet when he gets there, he asks the “God of [his] master Abraham” (v. 12) for success in his mission, and “before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah . . .” (v. 15). It’s a wonderful story about the process through which the servant learns about coming to God for guidance.

God speaks constantly to people, but most of them don’t know what’s happening. They are like the prophet Samuel, who as a child was staying with the priest Eli. The Lord came to Samuel’s bed and called to him, “Samuel! Samuel!” Thinking it must be Eli, Samuel got up and went to Eli, who said he hadn’t called him and sent him back to bed. This happened a few more times until finally Eli realized what was happening. In that beautiful story in 1 Samuel 3, Eli told Samuel that if he was called again, he was to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (v. 9). There are all kinds of explanations for why people do not hear the voice of God, or why they hear it, but don’t know what it is. But you must learn how God speaks; not doing so will constantly undermine your confidence in your personal relationship to him."
