Status Updates From How to Be Human: 12 Truths ...

I would encourage you to do one thing that will help you build a relationship with God based on these beautiful truths: pray.

"The hope of the Christian faith is not that life will be easy but that suffering and sorrow will not have the final say. Through Jesus Christ, God has made a way for things to get better."

"Christians are called to do something else in the midst of our pain, and that is to trust. We are invited to bring our suffering to a loving Father and trust that the God who created the world and sent his Son to die for us will ultimately bring good out of all tragedy, just as he has promised to do. We are invited to trust, and live with the mystery of it all."

"God doesn’t warn us about sin because he loves rules but because he
loves us. He wants us to live life in all its fullness."

"If we want to know how to be a good husband or wife, we need to
look at Jesus and his people."

"So rest is good, and so is work. God made us to work so that we can partner with him in his ongoing work and joy of caring for all that he has made."

"God commissions us to partner with him in creating a world where his image-bearers can flourish, and where culture and creation sing with his glory. That’s what work is about—whatever it is. And that’s what makes our work important."

"God worked for six days and rested on the seventh. This tells us that rest is good. It’s right to thank God it’s Friday, because God rested."

"God didn’t rest because he was tired. God rested to enjoy the finished work of the first six days, which, in his words, was very good! We are wise when we do the same."

"Women are not here to watch the action unfold and maybe occasionally lend a hand.
We are called to be active participants in the mission of God, with all our different gifts, personalities, strengths and quirks."

"Women aren’t told to sit on the sidelines, cheering the men on. God says to both men and women, Be fruitful, subdue the earth, and rule over creation. Women aren’t add-ons or spare parts. We are essential."

"In God’s eyes, the answer to the question of what it means to be a woman is clear. If he made you a woman, you are a woman."

"Humans were built different. We were created to signpost to our heavenly Father."

"Bearing God’s image means we carry the likeness of who God is. We share important aspects of his divine character: spirituality, morality, community, creativity, authority and responsibility."
