What I realized is that when you don't have something of your own, it's easy to depend on someone else to make you feel validated. Someone once asked me why God won't give them their godly spouse, and I told them it's because God is making them into one. The real question to ask yourself is, would you date you? That question made me realize I wasn't even where I needed to be to date the person I wanted.

    Give Me 77 Minutes And I'll Stop Your Overthinking (Pastor Explains) | Discord Stage #071

    📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/yt-unlearned-wisdom   In 1 month, Johnny had his work stolen, his car hit, his license suspended by mistake, and a friend pass away. He kept asking God for the lesson behind it all. Here's what he found: your pain is usually not what hurts you most. It's the thought that a real Christian shouldn't be struggling at all.

He knew exactly what he was looking at. Then he saw demons with clown-like devilish faces and reptile bodies swarming around that version of him.

    Stop Trying To Be A Better Christian (Do THIS Instead) | Discord Stage #070

    📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/yt-unlearned-wisdom   You keep telling yourself you should be better by now. More faith, more discipline, more strength. But that pressure is what's crushing you, and it was never yours to carry. I had over 40 fights before I turned 16, and I still wake up with shoulder pain every morning. Just a few nights ago, it hit me that "I should be better by now" was really me saying God messed up, so here's what to do instead, and why being nothing compared to Jesus is the best news you'll ever hear.

    Why You Keep Falling Back Into Lust (It's Not Willpower) | Discord Stage #069

    📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw   If you keep falling back into lust, it's not because you're not trying hard enough. Someone asked me how to deal with temptation when they're not strong enough and keep falling short. Most of us fight it like we're fighting fire with fire. Then we fall once and immediately go, "Now I'm a porn addict. Now I'm a backsliding Christian." We turn what we did into who we are. But the Bible says you're still a new creature, and the righteous fall seven times. Don't trust the lust.
