Meditations on "Courage"

We are most like the devil when we lie.

Forgiveness is the only way to stop the ongoing pain from buried grudges.

Getting to know the richness of God’s love for us will help us trust Him and surrender to His will.

It’s not wrong to have an opinion. We all need to think and wonder about things and form our thoughts around God’s truth, but we all need to remember that we are on a journey in our minds as well as in every other area of our life.

God calls us to be those who love and lift others up, and with all that we can, encourage them.

God promises that as we give to others He will pour even more back into our lives.

We are taught to find a way to bless the one who is speaking badly about us.

Our ways are changing, and new life is developing in us every time we ask God to remove a character defect.

Even though our feelings may go up and down, there is nothing that can hide us from God’s presence. 

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

When we follow the ways of God, He will watch over and protect us as we rebuild our lives. 

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