Meditations on "Surrender"

A humble life is grounded in a realistic view of ourselves.

If we ask God to show us the root cause of our actions, He will expose those things that keep us in bondage to our former ways.

What a blessing when we could finally say to God, “Take my will and my life and make them conform to the plans You have for me.” 

However, if we try to live our life with selective surrender to God’s will, our chosen disobedience will cause us to stumble and fall.

Recovery is more about the story of God’s faithfulness to us than it is about our strength to endure.

It’s time to open our minds and hearts to God and watch Him act on our behalf.

The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. (Proverbs 14:16 NLT)

God’s desire is that we allow ourselves to be guided by His wisdom and replace our “street smart thinking” with His principles for living life to the full.

We begin the process of changing our selfish way of living by turning our will and life over to the care of God.

It's time for us to step up and do whatever we can for the common good including praying for and working with those who are in authority.

God is on our side and God always does what He promises

We need to look for good in a person rather than being suspicious of evil intention.
