Partners in Hope

God invites us to stop running, acknowledge the pain and brokenness in our past relationships, and deal with the harm that was caused.

The desire to express our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation behind what we do each day and how we work through our agenda.

God accepts us as we are and invites us to rely on His strength to help us live life successfully.

Despite what we hear on the evening news or what might be happening in our personal lives that seems to be spinning out of our control, there’s good news for us today from our Loving Heavenly Father. Just like the hub on a wheel brings together all the spokes and the tire that surrounds them so they work in unity, so God brings all things in our lives together.

So what isthe spiritual awakening we speak about in Step Twelve?  We come to know deeply and personally that God loves us.  God has always loved us.  God has a  beautiful life plan for us and He is willing to show us that plan one step, one day at a time. We need God at work in us today to give us a spiritual awakening so we can begin to know the unfailing love of our Heavenly Father for us.  When we truly awaken to this reality everything changes.

I hope we bring our needs, our hopes, our frustrations, our “anything” to God. But we’ll do well when we prioritize praying for God’s will for us and the power to carry it out. What is that?  We have to ask God to show it to us.
