Hope For Today "Truth"

We would do well to search our hearts to find out what is really going on inside us and deal with that rather than simply expressing anger about something or someone.

There is so little that we finite human beings know about what is going on in our world – both the world around us and the world of our soul.  Jesus knows so much more and is so ready and willing to help us navigate things in a way that will be helpful all around.

I’m sure you’ve heard as I have this saying, "Let your conscience be your guide." God has given us a conscience as a tool to help us know right from wrong but we need to always surrender that conscience to God and His truth. Why?

Jesus knows the way to please our Heavenly Father and He knows the way humans displease Him. Jesus, every day, is watching over us and praying for us.  What a privilege it is for us to have someone who knows both sides of the life God has called us to praying for us.

DON’T GIVE UP – PERSERVERE When troubles arise in our lives, we often feel helpless to cope with them.

Doughnuts have both dough and holes and when they are first cut from the raw dough, they don’t look good or taste good.

We speak about various aspects of living truthfully often and I guess I make that choice to keep the subject before us because there are so many ways that both around us and inside us we are drawn to hide the truth, deny the truth, or rationalize something other than the truth.

From cover to cover the Bible is filled with wisdom and good direction for our lives.

In recovery circles there is a saying, “You are only as sick as your secrets.

On this Valentines Day it’s good to think about God’s plan for people being with one another and caring for each other.

How do we respond when our lives are filled with trouble and pressure and stress?

Trusting Jesus and doing what He says is the only key to successful living.
