Oftentimes we think that God is a chauffeur, and that it’s His job to drive us around from blessing to blessing. Seele Editor, Ally point out that this is not God’s job. Vision and execution to receive that blessing takes faith, work, the right motive, effort, tenacity, humility, and patience.

We’ve all come across Bible verses about showing love and kindness to the unloving and the unkind. But, what do you do with these verses when someone in your life exhibiting unkindness towards you? It’s hard to show them kindness, it’s hard to show the love of Christ. Seele’s editor shares how to deal with the unloving and unkind.

 I feel that the word “calling” is a word that gets bounced around in evangelical churches a lot. It’s a word that we get hit with time and time again when we look at interviews of those we look up to. I’ve even asked people in interviews, “how did you know you were called to be a singer, actor, etc?” But maybe you and I have been thinking about “calling” differently that doesn’t align with the Heavenly view of “calling.”

This week’s Friday post is from Christine Caine’s devotional, Unshakeable… We all want God’s favor, but Christine points out how it’s much more than everything going our way.

For the past 2 Fridays I have been posting directly from the Jesus Calling devotional, like I do every year. I use the last three weeks of December to take a slight break from Seele to refuel and quiet myself from the year and the holiday rush. The voice that Sarah Young, the writer of each devotional, is writing in is the voice our Triune God- as if he is sitting across the table speaking directly to you.

I want to slightly expand on the topic of friendship again, but take a slightly different twist on the topic by looking at marriage + if it all goes wrong + the pain that comes from it = the importance of choosing the right friends.
