Meditations on "Relationship"

As we have established God is faithful to us. God has also given us many practical commands for faithfulness in our service to others including our spouse, strangers, prisoners, and those who are suffering.

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, a father came up with an idea to entertain his bored eight-year-old daughter.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting life according to the truth.

God created us for a life with Him that is full and good -- an abundant life.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.

Our quest for true peace begins at birth. As babies, we long for our mother’s comforting arms, as children we yearn for happy experiences that are void of fear, and as adults we strive to find success and fulfillment through relationships and jobs.

What kind of commitments do we make? How do we feel when we make and keep a commitment, even when it's challenging to do so?

Commitment is asked of us in numerous areas throughout our lives: marriage vows, appointments, work, volunteer jobs, friendships, contracts, bill paying, promises made to parents or children, getting to work or school on time, etc.

As incredible as it seems, the creator of the universe wants to spend time with us.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

People living with a victim mentality often believe that it is impossible to get well.
