Meditations on "Obedience"

God is aware that on our journey we will make mistakes as part of our growing and maturing.

The building block for living well in recovery with God is changing our mind about who is responsible for our brokenness and how we got to where we are.

The kingdom of God is an everlasting kingdom in which we, who have given our will and lives over to the care of God, are citizens.

If we are not loving God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves, then we are choosing to disobey God, and this will have a negative impact on all our relationships.

We can repeatedly cry out to God for help to get us through the unfamiliar, and God assures us that He will help.

We may be able to hide our wrongs from others, but God sees everything.

As we give ourselves to the task of loving God and respecting His ways, we will often find ourselves being a blessing to others as well.

Following through requires that we be like Jesus and do the will of God no matter the cost

Although the Prayer of St Francis is beautiful and often quoted or sung, it’s much more difficult to put into practice in everyday living.

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

God has forgiven us for the wrongs we have done and now we need to make amends and, if possible, reconcile with others

Like the writer of the Psalm, we need to put our trust in the weapons that God has given us.
