It's not easy to live up to God's expectations, but it is necessary. Ask for forgiveness and let God move you in the right direction.

We live life, depending on God's goodness and generosity. That relationship is based on your obedience to him, plain and simple.

Learn how to listen to God and tune out the noise of the world. First thing in your day, before you do anything, reach out to God and set your day on the right path. With God as your guide, you will never go down the wrong path.

Simply, not holding onto the truth. Not listening when you should be. Deciding that your way is better than his way. It never is.

Simply, nothing more than humility and a heart seeking forgiveness and restoration. Yes, God does expect us to follow the rules, but most importantly, he expects us to stay connected to him.

Simply, believing in God's purpose for our life is the cornerstone. As we mature, we learn to listen more and respond less. Always put God first.

The point is keeping your strengths and weaknesses under control. Jesus is your main source of security and balance. Trust in him with all your heart, always.
