Meditations on "Truth"

When Jesus says our wrongs are forgiven, they are truly forgiven.

We need not be troubled or allow doubts to sink us. Jesus is always with us, ready to reach out and help us.

As followers of Jesus we represent God in all our interactions. How would Jesus speak or behave towards another person? That answer should be our guide.

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.” God’s word brings a positive truth to this saying. His promise is that as we bless others we can expect God to bless us.

Our lives are unmanageable, our problems are too great, our issues are too confusing, and our emotional challenges are too overwhelming, unless God helps and defends us against our enemy.

We were born again from above into the family of God and given the will and desire to live a life of moral excellence.

At the time we are most weary, how comforting to hear the words of Jesus inviting us to come to Him and He will give us rest.

Scientific evidence suggests that being cheerful seems to have positive benefits on our over-all health. There are studies that suggest being cheerful and optimistic limits stress, reduces pain, supports our immune system, and even helps to protect our heart. Is it any wonder that long before there were tests to prove it, the Bible already had this important information available?

As we regularly replace our will with God’s will and plan for our lives, our life will take on new meaning and will be satisfying.

As we come out of the isolation of addiction and move into the life God created us to live it’s good to ask ourselves, “How am I being a friend?”

Are we a person with genuine compassion who seeks to help another?

When sheep are under the care of the Good Shepherd they can lie down and know they are safe in His care.
