Meditations on "Surrender"

It’s important to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God in all our affairs.

As we have experienced healing and transformation through daily living in the love and grace of God, we need to share our story – our experience, strength, and hope – with others.

Who can we trust? Who's reliable? Who tells the truth?

The Big Book of AA describes the significance of our problem with self-centeredness in this way: "There often seems no way of entirely getting rid of self without His [God's] aid.

Asking God to remove all our defects of character is giving Him permission to expose and remove those things that are hindering our ability to live life to the full.

“Principles before personalities” is one of those sayings we hear at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

As we become willing to have God remove our defects of character, we commit to being persons who desire God’s will instead of our own.

We are just moving into summer and hopefully looking forward to long hours and days in the sunshine.

God doesn’t lie. God doesn’t sugar coat the truth.

Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.
