Meditations on "Acceptance"

We must stop using our problems as an excuse to sit on the sidelines of life.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety. When we make amends under the guidance of our loving God, everyone is blessed.

God invites us to stop running, acknowledge the pain and brokenness in our past relationships, and deal with the harm that was caused.

God accepts us as we are and invites us to rely on His strength to help us live life successfully.

God offers us a new life as we focus on His love for us, rather than on the events that have taken place in our lives.

The winds of time will change where we are at, but the Word of God is unfailing and will remain forever.

We are instructed to work hard, to give our work the best effort we can, and to be contented with what we have.

We need to encourage ourselves with the truth of God’s Word rather than allow feelings of inadequacy and lingering guilt to control us.

As we walk in conscious contact with God, He is faithful to complete what He has begun in us.

We should never, by our words or actions, humiliate others, regardless of their position, their viewpoint, or their religion

We are instructed by God to look to Him for all we need and to give thanks for the generous gifts He provides for us each day. God will give us everything we need to live the life He has prepared for us. Being contented in God’s care with what He has provided for us will free us from the character defect of envy.

Today we have a choice either to live by our feelings or to live according to God’s truth.
