Meditations on "Acceptance"

If we choose to remain filled with bitterness, we bind ourselves to our past.

Jesus willingly gave His life for us, so we no longer need to live as a victim.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand when we are seeking peace in all our relationships. 

As we choose to obey God’s principles for life as revealed in the Bible, we will progressively move forward in our life with God in recovery. 

I call to you Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense. (Psalm 141:1-2a)

No matter how fearful we may feel at this time or in this place where we find ourselves right now, if we invite God to be with us, God will answer, and changes will occur both in us and around us.

In difficult times, rather that running from God, we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling. 

What are we going to do with the gift of today that God has given us?

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

There is hope for each of us to leave the past behind and move forward to become the person we were created to be.

To be kind to our neighbours, we need to be discreet in the way we speak about them

"Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:25b-26)
