Meditations on "Obedience"

Dealing with anger, shame and hurtful relationships are areas vulnerable to our continued use of denial.

In His mercy, God waits for us to turn from sin and turn our will and life over to His care. He gives us His Holy Spirit to be with us and to live in us.

God is the answer to all our problems and His solutions are available to us when we turn to Him, seek His forgiveness, and turn our will and life, including our problems, over to His care

We are most like the devil when we lie.

Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. AA Tradition 7

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

We don’t need to have the same talent as someone else but with what we have been given, we simply need to do our best.

Our God is a God of comfort to all who trust in Him. 

When we give our will and life over to the care of God and repent of our sins, nothing should be held back

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?

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)

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