Meditations on "Truth"

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

We live in a world dominated by angry words, angry gestures, and angry responses.

As we enter into a new life of recovery and seek to leave addictive and destructive life habits behind it’s important that we come to God who knows us, who cares for us, and who has prepared a way forward for us that is secure and satisfying.

There may be times when we feel we will never conquer this desire within us to rebel against the God who made us and who desires that we should walk in His ways.

Two of the many reasons we excuse giving into temptation and rationalizing our behaviour are: 1) We want what sin has to offer us.

Rationalizing is a thought process where we provide a reasonable but untrue argument for harmful actions we plan to take, or have taken.

If we hold something in our hand and let go of it, it will drop to the ground.

Is there really a God? It's a question many people ask at various times in their lives.

God desires to have a relationship with each one of us.

To know the will of God for our lives requires spending time with Him.

Taking responsibility for our lives, from God’s perspective is: owning our behaviour, confessing our sin, and turning away from destructive actions.

When another person is gathered in the same place that we are do we smile and say “hello” or, do we grunt and wish that there was no one else here but us.
