Saturday, July 27 2024 -what’s In An Inventory?
God created man and woman in His own image and together they lived in loving relationship with Him and with each other. This was the foundation that God established for a solid and satisfying life here on earth.
The way we take an inventory of our life starts with identifying those attitudes and actions that either help or hinder us from loving God, others, and ourselves. This applies to reflection on our daily living as well as a formal inventory when working the steps.
Put on your new nature and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” (Colossians 3:10, 1 Corinthians 2:9; NLT)
To live in God’s new way of life for us rather than in our own self-willed way we need to:
1) Be convinced that God knows everything good and evil in us but still loves us.
2) Let go of our faulty understanding of how life works and become willing to learn from God of a new way.
3) Retrain our minds in the principles found in God’s Word and ask the Holy Spirit to instruct us in how to apply them in each situation that arises.
4) Ask God to show us how to love with a pure heart and to help us be obedient to Him in all our thoughts and actions.
As our relationship with God is restored, we will be renewed and strengthened to build healthy human relationships.
Prayer: Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24 NIV) Amen
