Who helps you? Part 2
| Habits / 6 |
Who helps you when you want to change the way you live? Our ultimate help comes from God. If we do not involve God, then we cannot hope to change anything. But God also gives us Christian brothers and sisters to turn to, to find support and encouragement. What stops us from depending on one another? What paralyses us from receiving support and from offering it? And how can we counteract those things? Read more

Transforming Perspective
| Habits / 4 |
The way we perceive the world is influenced by so many different factors. And so our viewpoint is never objective, it is flawed, highly individual, subjective. Our perception influences the way we behave, what we say and do. This means that sometimes our perspective can lead us into paths that are not of God. Which is why it is important to lift our eyes and ask God to give us a heavenly perspective, to be able to look at situations through God’s eyes. Read more
