Meditations on "Humility"

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

There is no time in our life when we don't need correcting because circumstances keep changing and we have limited understanding and often get used to bad habits. There’s always more we need to learn about some issues and then be willing to receive correction when we are in error.

Demonstrating to others that we care about them is encouragement to them whether the problem is resolved or not. If God had not come alongside us when we were struggling and encouraged us to try again, where would we be today?

Allowing ourselves to grieve over the events we have participated in, is part of the healing process.

We need God’s help to identify our shortcomings and the infilling of the Holy Spirit to give us the will and the power to remove them.

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us? It means that in every situation we may encounter we have decided that we will obey the principles God has established for the guidance of our behaviour.

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. God promises to help us. Are you and I willing to step forward confident in who God says we are? Are we willing to follow His ways and the plan He has for each of us?

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate before God.

We need to deal with our feelings about a person in a "let go and let God" way.

As long as we are living and breathing there is still hope because God continues to invite us to a new life with Him.

God keep our land glorious and free. O Canada we stand on guard for thee.

When we fail to wait for God to act and seek an alternate way, just like in our impatience with traffic congestion, we often end up in a worse mess.
