It is important to consult God in all things. We are at His service, so we must follow Him. The Holy Spirit is by far the best counselor regarding any situation. But beware: we must not neglect the part we have to play in every decision.
Wanting to help others is great! Jesus asked us to be servants of one another. But there is still a limit: you have to be careful not to become the savior! This is the responsibility of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Always striving for excellence is a great thing. But demanding perfection in all things is not only hard on our mental health, but it can also break or abort a romantic relationship.
Regardless of our past, our bad choices or even our parent’s bad choices, it is still possible to start over on the right foot. Thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus, we are free from all blockages.
What God asks us to do is not always easy. We have to assess the costs, prepare well and choose to face our fears. This is courage. If we want to move forward, we will need a good dose of it!
