Meditations on "Acceptance"

Our self-image should be based on why we exist at all

We can’t just talk the talk, we need to have patience and the know-how to walk the walk. 

We need God’s Spirit living in us, so we can recognize what wisdom looks like

Can we assume that if we obey God’s laws our lives will be much better than if we try to manage things on our own?

Being creative is a God given ability because we are made in God’s image.

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)

We need to be careful that our lives match what we have learned.

If someone was to evaluate our daily interaction with others, would they describe us as gentle or harsh?

God’s call to us today is to take our focus off our problems and let Him show us solutions. 

The focus of any self-examination must be squarely focused on ourselves.

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out.

The greatest gift we receive when we turn our will and life over to the care of God is -- peace of mind and heart.
