Expectations Series: Why Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures.

As we go through life and take on more and more responsibility, the stakes will only increase. That's why it's critical for us to develop a deep relationship with God, such that our identity is rooted in His love for us. Jesus, for example, spent the first 30 years of His life developing such a relationship in order to power through His increasingly difficult three years of ministry. When our identity is truly with God, we'll be able to stay calm and collected, no matter the situation or how high the stakes, because we know that nothing can harm our identity or God's love for us. Indeed, if we bask in God's endless love, we'll be able to handle any challenge in life.
