If you are a sanguine, you know you light up every room you walk into. You tend to crave the company of others and thrive on excitement and new experiences. Jesus made you this way! You are a walking testimony of His love and joy!
But sometimes, your sanguine, fast-paced, social self can find it challenging to slow down and spend deep, quiet moments with Jesus. You tend to get easily distracted by the buzz and noise around you. Have you ever found staying focused and consistent in your prayer and devotional life challenging? Don’t fret! I’ve got great news: Jesus meets you where you are!
Peter the apostle is a great example of a sanguine temperament. He was bold, outspoken, and enthusiastic. No wonder he didn’t think twice before jumping out of the boat to meet Jesus walking on the water. – Matthew 14:28-29
He was the first one to speak up every time and also the first one to unsheathe his sword! Despite his shortcomings, Jesus saw his potential, shaping him into a vessel for His glory. Do you identify with Peter? Today, I’d like to share some valuable tips for your walk with God.
