Meditations on "Acceptance"

In the Bible we read many stories of how Jesus was sensitive to people and to what they were going through, and how He reached out to them with compassion.

Self-worth is the value we put on ourselves and our role in life.

We easily object to someone judging us when they think our decisions or actions are unwise.

When we confess the exact nature of our wrongs, the terrible isolation we've lived with for most of our lives will be exposed.

How far is the east from the west? It is a distance we cannot travel and a destination we can never reach.

When we come into a recovery program, one of our priorities has to be sorting life according to what is true.

A humble person is grounded in a realistic view of who they are.

How far is the east from the west? It is a distance we cannot travel and a destination we can never reach.

Too many of us carry a harsh picture of God and believe He looks for ways to be displeased with us.

Life has its ups and downs and doesn’t always treat us fairly.

We all need hope. Today we are affirming the hope we will experience when what has been impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible as we reach out for help to a Power greater than ourselves.

After all the hype and preparation for Christmas we now get back to quieter days before the New Year celebration.
