Meditations on "Truth"

There is only one person who understands us through and through.

How does a follower of Jesus take responsibility for daily living?

One of the most appealing things people crave is freedom, the opportunity to have control of our own lives and make our own decisions about what they want to do and when.

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.

What are we doing when we invite individuals to leave behind certain lifestyles and embrace a new way?

We need help from all those who can enlarge our vision and broaden our perspective.

We live in difficult days. Jesus knows what we need.

When Jesus knew his disciples would soon experience deep grief as they observed His own suffering and death on the cross, He was concerned for them, as He is for us when we go through grievous troubles and severe trials.

Another area where we might need to examine our conscience is in the “truthfulness” of our culture’s values and messages to us.

As with anything new we are seeking to establish in our lives, we need to recognize that there is a learning curve in distinguishing between the Holy Spirit’s voice and our own old way of thinking.

In recovery we learn new ways of looking at things, new ways of responding to issues and new guidelines for making decisions.

Many people become perfectionists and labor under condemnation even though the Bible says there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1 NIV).
