Meditations on "Obedience"

God created us to live for Him and has a specific plan for each of us. When our conscience is shaped by a wounded spirit, we will find we are constantly looking for affirmation and mechanically acting out of people pleasing motives, rather than behaving out of love that pleases God.

Only God has the power to help us sort out the issues underneath our anger.

God designed us to be together with others in life as surely as the parts of our body work together for good health and getting things done.

Will we, like Thomas, realize that something incredible happens when we ask Jesus to show us who He truly is?

“We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.” Book of AA

With God’s help life will be better than we ever imagined or thought possible.

Who can show us the way out of darkness into the light? Jesus says He is the Light and if we follow Him, we won’t have to walk in darkness but will have the Light that gives life.

Only obedience to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can keep us from returning to familiar patterns.

This love recognizes the gifts that God gives each person, and our need for one another, so we can be complete

One of the best ways to overcome temptation is to stay as far away from what tempts us as we possibly can.

As we give to God and to others, God promises that we will receive back what we have given abundantly multiplied

We need to learn to “say what we mean and mean what we say.”
