Meditations on "Acceptance"

However, if we try to live our life with selective surrender to God’s will, our chosen disobedience will cause us to stumble and fall.

The quicker we admit we got it wrong, the quicker we can build on the lesson learned. 

We thought that the pain and dysfunction experienced in our addiction was the only problem but now realize there were other contributing factors

We can’t change the fact that our world is imperfect, but we can choose our attitude. 

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love (Psalm 103:8)

The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. (Proverbs 14:16 NLT)

All of us are vulnerable to relapses when we are feeling lonely, frustrated or dissatisfied with life. 

Each of us knows deep down inside us that there must be a God for we are unable to cope with life on our own.

The great faith that we need to develop is to trust that “when the time is right” God’s help will be there for us.

In the body of Christ, God’s children are meant to live in harmony, and the blessings of God flow when each person is doing what God planned for that person to do.

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. 

It's time for us to step up and do whatever we can for the common good including praying for and working with those who are in authority.
