We are spiritual beings with a soul, housed in a body. This truth is very important to understanding our identity as God’s children. So many people are struggling today because they have no clear sense of purpose; they don’t truly know who they are. Life feels like a maze they keep walking through, but never quite figure out. One of the main reasons is this: there’s more attention on the outward life than on the inward condition of the soul. But as God’s spiritual children, w

He will tell you about the future.” The Holy Spirit helps us to pray and to grow closer to God. He is the One who establishes the intimacy between us and our Heavenly Father that we desire so much.

When thinking about the human heart, most of us first consider the vital organ of the human body that is necessary to keep the body alive. In the physical sense, the heart is a large muscle. As it beats, it pumps blood around the entire body, carrying oxygen and nutrients throughout all the parts, while also getting rid of unwanted wastes. Its design allows us a glimpse of God’s masterful and brilliant handiwork in creating this intricate organ that supports our lives. It als
